Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is conducting market research via a Sources Sought notice to identify potential manufacturing and supply sources for LTR LIFT ASSY components for the BLACKHAWK weapon system. This effort aims to determine if future acquisitions can be competitive or set aside for small businesses. The current acquisition is sole-sourced due to a lack of available data for competitive procurement. Responses are due April 17, 2026.

The DLA seeks qualified sources for the acquisition of four specific LTR LIFT ASSY components:
- LTR LIFT ASSY, FWD, L (NSN: 1560-01-495-5991, Part Number: 708-1011-001)

- LTR LIFT ASSY, FWD, R (NSN: 1560-01-495-5992, Part Number: 708-1011-003)
