Spring, Cover Ext & Screw, Panel Fastene

The Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal is conducting a market research survey to assess industry interest and capability in producing Spring, Cover Ext (NSN: 1005-13-116-2139) and Screw, Panel Fastener (NSN: 5305-13-116-1930). This initiative, identified by solicitation number W912CH-26-R-0095, is a Sources Sought Notice and not a solicitation for proposals or a commitment to award a contract. Responses are voluntary and will be used solely to inform future acquisition planning, including potential set-asides, production capacity assessment, and industrial base feasibility. Respondents are required to provide detailed information on production experience, current manufacturing capabilities, monthly output rates, lead times, and quality system certifications, with First Article Testing experience being a key consideration. All submissions must include the respondent’s CAGE code, business size status verified in SAM.gov, and selection of applicable socioeconomic categories such as Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and must comply with the Nonmanufacturer Rule if applicable. The place of performance for any future contract is expected to be Warren, Michigan, and respondents must indicate where production would occur. Confidential or proprietary information submitted must be clearly marked with “CONFIDENTIAL” and “PROPRIETARY INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN” legends, with electronic documents required to use “CONFIDENTIAL DATA BEGINS” and “CONFIDENTIAL PORTION ENDS” designators to ensure proper handling under 18 U.S.C. §1905. A release statement authorizing the government to share such data with internal Army personnel is mandatory. While there is no Technical Data Package currently available, access to one in a future phase may require an active DD Form 2345 on file with DLIS. Responses must be submitted electronically via email by June 1, 2026, in Word or PDF format, using the specified subject line format. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, packaging standards, invoicing instructions, or payment details apply at this stage, as this is strictly pre-solicitation market research. The NAICS code associated with this effort is 332613, and the procuring office is located at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan, with Richard Hall designated as the primary point of contact. No reimbursement will be provided for
