Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Notice for electric power harnesses (NSN 1680-01-550-9424 and -01-621-4132). This initiative aims to identify companies capable of manufacturing or legitimately obtaining these items, which are currently produced by The Boeing Company and Robertson Fuel Systems LLC. Responses are due by June 3, 2026, 2:00 PM EST.
Purpose & Scope
DLA Aviation seeks to determine market capability for the specified National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for electric power harnesses. This notice is for informational purposes only and is not a solicitation or a commitment by the Government to award a contract. The primary goal is to identify potential new sources for these critical aircraft components.
Source Approval Request (SAR) Program
Companies interested in being reviewed and qualified as an "Approved Source" for these items must submit an application package through the Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. The attached "Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook JACG SAM HB 03-16-11.pdf" provides comprehensive guidance on the SAR process. This handbook details the rigorous requirements for submitting SAR packages, including technical data, risk management, quality assurance provisions, and procedures for reverse engineering and site surveys. Understanding this document is crucial for any potential supplier of aviation parts, especially Critical Safety Items (CSIs). SAR packages for NSNs without an open solicitation should be sent to the DLA Weapons Support SAR Program Office in Richmond, VA.
