Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify potential manufacturing/supply sources for a CANISTER ASSEMBLY,P (NSN: 2915-01-179-4177, Part Number: 15369). This item supports the A-BJ weapon system. The acquisition is currently sole-source, and DLA aims to determine if future efforts can be competitive or set aside for small businesses.

Scope of Work
This Sources Sought seeks qualified sources for the acquisition of the specified CANISTER ASSEMBLY,P. The Government does not own the data rights to purchase this part from additional sources, and reverse engineering is uneconomical, leading to its current procurement under FAR 6.302-1(a)(1) as a sole-source acquisition. Interested firms must be capable of manufacturing and supplying the required item, including managing the entire production process, supply chain, logistics, and addressing obsolescence issues. Contractors will be responsible for recurring and nonrecurring engineering services to become a qualified source.
