Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers for specific BEADLOCK and REGULATING VALVE components (NSNs 2530-01-349-2058 and 4820-01-576-9611). DLA currently lacks drawings and specifications for these items. Interested sources must demonstrate manufacturing capability and may need to become an approved source through the Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. Responses are due April 14, 2026.

Scope of Work

This Sources Sought notice aims to identify sources capable of manufacturing two specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs):

  • NSN 2530-01-349-2058: BEADLOCK, PNEUMATIC (currently approved manufacturers: OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC, HUTCHINSON INDUSTRIES, INC)
  • NSN 4820-01-576-9611: VALVE, REGULATING, SY (currently approved manufacturers: OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC, HUTCHINSON INDUSTRIES, INC)

Sources must review the provided Market Research Spreadsheet and submit information demonstrating their ability to manufacture these items. The DLA does not possess drawings or specifications, requiring potential sources to either be already approved or to pursue approval via the SAR program, which involves submitting technical data to prove equivalence to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
