AI Contract Overview
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for the potential acquisition of NSN 4810-016226215, a regulating fluid pressure valve, under a long-term indefinite delivery contract structure with a three-year base period and up to four one-year option periods. The Government intends to procure this item solely from Eaton Corporation, CAGE 86090, part number 62495-1, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), due to the absence of unrestricted technical data and the inability to qualify alternate sources. This procurement is classified under AMC 3 and AMSC B, indicating strict source control where only the approved manufacturer’s part is acceptable because necessary technical data, manufacturing knowledge, or data rights are not available to the Government, nor can they be economically obtained. The applicable NAICS code is 332911 with a small business size standard of 750 employees, and the acquisition is being considered under FAR Part 12 for commercial items. Interested parties are invited to respond to a market survey by June 4, 2026, via email to Mandy Phipps-Kuhlman, providing information on their capability, pricing, delivery timelines, and commercial sales history to assist in determining future acquisition strategy. Companies seeking to become an approved source may apply through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request program, submitting comprehensive technical documentation to demonstrate their product is equal to or superior to the OEM item. All submissions, including invoices and engineering data, must be labeled proprietary and confidential and will be treated as source selection information under FAR regulations. No formal solicitation exists at this time, and the Government is not obligated to award a contract or compensate respondents for their input. Delivery will be to DLA Weapons Support – Columbus, Ohio, and while no FOB terms or packaging specifications are detailed, the Government requires CAGE code, NSN, and part number markings on all items. No formal evaluation factors, contract value, or payment details are yet defined, as this phase is strictly for market intelligence gathering prior to any potential solicitation.
