Key Considerations
The government intends to solicit and contract with only approved sources (TADIRAN 4WGJ2 P/N TLH-5955 and TADIRAN 4WGJ2 P/N TLH-5955/S) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to a lack of complete, unrestrictive technical data. However, all responsible sources are encouraged to submit offers. DLA is conducting market research for this LTC, utilizing a spreadsheet for NSN information and a questionnaire. Bidders are encouraged to complete and return the market research questionnaire within 5 business days to provide input on contract structure, pricing, and scope, which will influence the final solicitation and potentially demonstrate alternative capabilities. The small business size standard is 1,250 employees.
