AI Contract Overview
The contract solicits potential sources for the valve, linear, direct with NSN 4810-01-607-7882, a component requiring engineering source approval due to its specialized design and manufacturing requirements. Currently, only two approved sources—Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation with part number 70310-03104-103 and Transdigm Inc with part number 512900-3—are authorized to supply the item, as they possess proprietary technical data, manufacturing expertise, and design knowledge that are essential to maintaining quality and are not economically available to the government. The acquisition management code “1C” indicates that this is a competitive acquisition for a second or subsequent time, but any new source must undergo formal qualification through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request program to prove their product equals or exceeds the performance and quality of the existing approved items. The process requires comprehensive technical documentation demonstrating equivalence or superiority, and submissions must be reviewed and approved by the cognizant government engineering activity before qualification. Interested parties must submit all qualification materials to Contract Specialist Caitlin Ferry by the response deadline of August 14, 2026, and are encouraged to review the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program guidelines on the official DLA website for detailed submission requirements. The solicitation is not set aside for small businesses or other categories and falls under NAICS code 332912. The point of contact for inquiries is Caitlin Ferry, with Karin Wilson as a secondary contact, both located at the DLA Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio. The government is actively seeking qualified alternate suppliers to ensure continued supply chain resilience while maintaining strict quality standards for this critical component.
