The specific requirement is for part number OFM-2054-A1, NSN 5855-01-609-6252, with an estimated quantity ranging from a minimum of 76 to a maximum of 305 units.

Prospective contractors must demonstrate the capacity to provide all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment necessary for the new manufacture of the items, including component procurement, inspection, testing, packaging, and shipping.

Interested parties must submit their organization's details and a tailored capability statement to Montana Kipp via email by October 28, 2026. This process is purely voluntary and does not constitute a formal request for proposals; unit pricing will be established only at the time of a future contract award.
