Sources Sought 1 NSN LTC CM26034006

The U.S. Department of Defense, through DLA Land and Maritime, is conducting market research under solicitation number CM26034006 to identify qualified sources capable of supplying NSN 5930015931045, a rotary switch with part number 05400, currently manufactured exclusively by UCOM, INC. (CAGE 0ZSM8). This effort supports the potential development of a Long-Term Contract with a three-year base period and up to four one-year option periods, totaling five years of performance. All proposals must demonstrate that the offered product meets or exceeds the quality of the current approved source and qualify through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires comprehensive technical documentation including engineering drawings referenced as MR015931045, un-redacted commercial sales invoices, and proof of commercial item status under FAR 2.101(b). Offerors must also provide pricing structures that either maintain fixed prices throughout the base period or include an Economic Price Adjustment tied to relevant indices such as the Producer Price Index, with clear identification of key cost drivers like steel, rubber, oil, or plastics. The place of performance is Columbus, Ohio, and all submissions must be emailed to Sarah Schaff, Contract Specialist, by the deadline of May 15, 2026. Respondents are required to disclose their business size classification, whether they are a manufacturer or distributor, any minimum order quantities, delivery constraints, and whether the item is listed on GSA Advantage. No packaging, preservation, or marking specifications are detailed in the solicitation, and no formal inspection criteria or acceptance locations are defined, with quality assurance relying on equivalence to the OEM and compliance with SAR requirements. The estimated annual demand is 1,175 units, though no contract value can be determined due to the absence of unit pricing or cost data at this pre-solicitation stage.
