Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified manufacturers for specific ANTENNA items (NSN 5985015519607). This initiative aims to gather information to inform the development of a future Long-Term Contract (LTC). Responses, including completed market survey documents, are due by April 25, 2026.
