Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) to identify potential manufacturing and supply sources for multiple items supporting the Patriot Weapons System. This effort aims to determine if future acquisitions can be competitive or set aside for small businesses. Responses are due by May 19, 2026.
Scope of Work
DLA is seeking qualified sources capable of manufacturing and supplying various items for the Patriot Weapons System. This SSS is specifically for market research to broaden the supplier base, as the acquisition is currently procured under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) due to a limited number of responsible sources. If awarded a contract, the contractor would be responsible for recurring and nonrecurring engineering services, supply chain management, logistics, forecasting, procurement of long-lead parts, obsolescence management, and final delivery of assets.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sources Sought / Market Research
- Set-Aside: None specified for this SSS; however, the government is interested in all business types, including 8(a), small business, small disadvantaged business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns, for potential future set-asides.
