AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Defense, through DLA Land and Maritime, is conducting a pre-solicitation market research effort under solicitation number 7014201183 to identify capable sources for the Steer Section and B component identified by NSN 2530-00-008-3727 and part number 2587730, currently manufactured by RONAL INDUSTRIES, INC. (CAGE 2G657). This requirement is classified under NAICS code 336390 and set aside exclusively for small businesses pursuant to FAR 19.5. The item is covered by AMC “3R,” indicating it must be acquired directly from the original manufacturer because the Government does not own the technical data or manufacturing rights, and it is deemed uneconomical to obtain those rights or to reverse engineer the component. As such, only the current manufacturer or parties that can qualify through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program are eligible to respond. Prospective suppliers must demonstrate equal or superior quality to the Original Equipment Manufacturer by submitting comprehensive technical data and qualifications through the SAR process. The response deadline is June 9, 2026, and submissions must include verification of business size under NAICS 336390, SAM and ORCA compliance, manufacturer status, and commercial item certification if applicable, including evidence of sales to the commercial sector and publicly accessible pricing. Packaging must comply with ASTM D 3951 standards, and suppliers must be capable of meeting RFID requirements. F.O.B. Origin is preferred and delivery timelines must be provided, although no formal contract value, CLIN structure, or delivery schedule has been established. The information gathered will inform a future solicitation, and responses are not considered quotes or offers. All inquiries must be directed to Contract Specialist Logan McLaughlin at Logan.McLaughlin@dla.mil.
