Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting a Sources Sought to identify potential manufacturers for a RUN-FLAT KIT, INSERT (NSN: 2640-015636900). The purpose is to find additional sources beyond the currently approved manufacturer, CADILLAC GAGE TEXTRON INC (10237). Responses are crucial for DLA to assess market capabilities and potentially achieve breakout to competition. All information must be submitted by March 28, 2026.
Scope of Work
This Sources Sought aims to identify companies capable of manufacturing the specified RUN-FLAT KIT, INSERT. The item is currently designated with an AMC/AMSC of "3 Q," indicating that it is procured from the actual manufacturer, and the Government lacks adequate data or rights to data to purchase from additional sources. However, ongoing actions are in place to obtain necessary data, and breakout to competition is expected. This part may also be a candidate for reverse engineering.
Respondents are requested to review the NSN and provide information on their ability to manufacture these items. A related Market Survey Questionnaire (Document: "3.2 7015536162 Market Survey.pdf") seeks details on commercial availability, manufacturing capabilities, sales history, pricing, and delivery, and whether the item is considered commercial.

Evaluation
Responses will be used to identify potential sources and inform future procurement strategies. The DLA is actively seeking to expand its supplier base for this item. Companies wishing to become an "Approved Source" may submit an application package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. This program requires technical data to demonstrate manufacturing competency equal to or better than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
