Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Mechanicsburg has issued a Presolicitation / Market Survey to gather information for a potential future solicitation for a Centrifugal Pump Unit (NSN 7H-4320-015587307, P/N 107161-8). This market research aims to identify qualified sources and inform a realistic solicitation, especially given that the Government currently identifies RPM Supply Corp as the sole approved source and does not own the necessary data for additional sources. Responses are due by April 13, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This is a market survey, not a Request for Quote (RFQ), intended to assess the current market for the specified pump unit. The DLA is seeking to understand the availability, commerciality, and supplier capabilities for this item. The Government has determined it is uneconomical to buy data or reverse engineer the part, prompting this market research to explore alternative sourcing options or confirm the existing sole-source status.

- Availability: Confirmation of item availability.
- Commerciality: Whether the item is commercial, COTS, or a modified commercial item (per FAR 2.101(b)).
- Pricing & Catalogs: If the item is cataloged/price listed and if a price list can be provided, along with quantity discounts.
- Delivery: Normal lead times and inventory maintenance.
- Logistics: Acceptability of FOB Origin and Inspection/Acceptance Origin terms.
- Company Information: Number of employees, manufacturer details (if a dealer).
- Cost/Pricing Data Capability: Ability to provide cost or pricing data for contracts over $800,000.
- Material Composition: Identification of dominant materials and their percentage.
- Manufacturing History: Last manufacturing date and for whom.
- Similar Parts: Manufacturer of similar parts.
- Minimum Order Quantities: Applicability of minimum delivery order quantities or dollar values.
