AI Contract Overview
The contract seeks qualified manufacturers for the NSN 4820-01-145-5907, specifically for the valve check part number 458-50004-503, governed by a source-controlled drawing revision J dated September 26, 1986. Currently, the approved manufacturers are Meggitt North Hollywood and Bahr Machine Company. Because this is a source-controlled item, acquisition must come from designated sources per DoD-STD-100 guidelines, and no suitable technical data or government rights exist to allow competitive acquisition from other suppliers without prior approval. The contract carries an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of "1" indicating suitability for competitive acquisition beyond the initial solicitation and an Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) of "B," meaning the item must be procured from specified sources as technical data or testing for alternative sources are unavailable. Interested parties who wish to be considered for future qualification as an approved source must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package demonstrating they can produce the part to equal or superior standards compared to the original equipment manufacturer. This includes providing comprehensive technical data to support production capability and quality. Responses and source information must be submitted by June 10, 2026. The point of contact for this solicitation is Karin Wilson at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio, with additional support available from Thomas Maul. Further details and instructions on submitting an SAR are available through the DLA Weapons Support website.
