Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify potential manufacturers for National Stock Number (NSN) 4330-01-425-7701, described as a "PARTS KIT, FLUID PRE." This effort aims to gather information for a future Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC or LTC). Responses are due by May 22, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
The primary purpose is to identify sources capable of manufacturing the specified NSN. Interested parties are requested to provide their manufacturing capabilities, location (City and State or country), and points of contact (POCs). This market research will inform the development of a realistic and beneficial solicitation for a long-term contract.
Key documents include:
- Market Research LTC Questionnaire.docx: This questionnaire from DLA Land and Maritime's Strategic Acquisition Programs Directorate (SAPD) seeks detailed information from potential suppliers. It covers company details (CAGE code, contact), business size and SBA classifications, manufacturer/distributor status, interest in an LTC (including preferred contract periods and quantity price breaks), item recommendations, willingness to provide certified cost or pricing data, commerciality of items, and delivery capabilities (production limitations, minimum order quantities).
- Market Research LTC Spreadsheet NSN info.xlsx: This spreadsheet provides market research data for the NSN, including nomenclature, CAGE codes of approved sources, part numbers, estimated annual demand quantities (ADQ), and fields for contractors to enter pricing and delivery information. It helps bidders understand the existing supply chain and market demand.
