Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Columbus, Ohio, is conducting market research (Sources Sought) to identify potential sources, including small businesses, for NSN 2940015587221, "Filter, Element, Fluid." This is not a request for quotes or proposals, but aims to gather capabilities for a potential future Long-Term Contract (LTC) or Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC). Responses are due by March 20, 2026, 4 PM EST.

Purpose & Scope

The DLA Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate (SAPD)/ZAA Division is seeking capabilities packages for a commercial, nondevelopmental, or COTS item (AMC 1/AMSC Z) that is suitable for competition. The estimated annual demand for the "Filter, Element, Fluid" is 6082 units. This market research will inform whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or not.

Key Requirements

The item is a COTS filter element (Product Number: 015587221) with specific DLA packaging requirements (RP001) and technical standards, including strict mercury restrictions. Bidders must ensure compliance with these technical specifications.

Submission & Evaluation

Interested parties must complete the attached Market Research Survey and a separate spreadsheet requiring vendor fill-in. The survey covers company details (size, status, manufacturer/distributor), interest in LTCs, ability to provide traceability, preferred contract structures, pricing data, commerciality, and delivery capabilities. Responses are for market research only and will not be considered offers; the Government will not reimburse any associated costs. Failure to provide traceability as a distributor could render a future proposal technically unacceptable.
