Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify potential manufacturers for SHIELDING GASKET, ELECTRONIC (NSN: 5999-01-506-4338, P/N: AG736000-01). This is not a request for quote/proposal but aims to gauge industry interest and capabilities for a potential Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC). Responses are due by May 13, 2026.

Purpose

This market survey seeks to identify additional sources capable of manufacturing the specified shielding gasket. The information gathered will help DLA shape future solicitation requirements, determine appropriate contract types, and assess the feasibility of using streamlined commercial item procedures. It also informs the government about market capabilities, pricing, and delivery timelines.

Scope of Interest

DLA is seeking sources for SHIELDING GASKET, ELECTRONIC (NSN: 5999-01-506-4338, Part Number: AG736000-01). The current approved source is AVIATION DEVICES AND ELECTRONIC (CAGE 1NPE1). The Acquisition Method Code (AMC) is "3R," indicating that the item is typically acquired directly from the manufacturer, and the government does not own the data or rights needed to purchase from additional sources, deeming it uneconomical to acquire or reverse engineer.

Information Requested

Interested companies are asked to provide details on their ability to manufacture these items. Specifically, the accompanying Market Survey Questionnaire (Document 3.4 Market Survey CM26035014.pdf) requests:

Company information (name, CAGE, contact, status, size, socio-economic group).
Commerciality assessment (commercial sales, similar items, sales data).
Interest in an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC), including preferred contract period and option years.
Delivery capabilities (maximum/minimum quantity, delivery times, guaranteed minimums, quantity/price breaks).

Becoming an Approved Source

Companies wishing to be reviewed and qualified as an "Approved Source" may submit an application package through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. This package must demonstrate the contractor's ability to competently manufacture the product to the same or better quality than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Further details are available on the DLA Weapons Support website under the "Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program."
