Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research (Sources Sought) to identify qualified companies capable of supplying PARTS KIT,FLUID PRE (NSN 4330 - Centrifugals, Separators, And Pressure And Vacuum Filters). This effort aims to inform a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a duration of 1 to 5 years. Responses, including a capabilities statement, market survey questionnaire, and a detailed spreadsheet, are due by March 5, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This is a market research announcement in accordance with FAR Part 10, not a request for quotes or proposals. The primary purpose is to identify qualified sources for the specified National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and gather market intelligence to develop a realistic and beneficial solicitation. The resultant solicitation will be issued under either FAR Part 13.5 (Simplified Procedures for Commercial Products) or FAR Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiations). Providing adequate proof of commerciality (e.g., commercial invoices) is crucial to potentially avoid a FAR Part 15 procurement, which may require Certified Cost and Pricing Data.
Required Submissions
Interested firms must submit a brief capabilities statement demonstrating their ability to provide the items. This statement should include:
- Company name, address, point of contact (phone, fax, email).
- Company DUNS, CAGE Code, business size, and socio-economic classification.
- Name and part number of the manufacturer (city and state).
- Brochures and descriptive literature.
- Commercial invoices to demonstrate commercial item status.
Additionally, respondents must complete and return the attached Market Survey Questionnaire and the Market Research Spreadsheet. The questionnaire covers company details, interest in a Long-Term Contract (LTC), willingness to provide cost/pricing data, commercial item status, and delivery capabilities. The spreadsheet requires vendors to fill in data related to specific NSNs, including capabilities, pricing, delivery times, and manufacturing status.
