Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Synopsis for Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Spares. This effort aims to identify potential manufacturing/supply sources for a one-time buy of specific items: CONTROL SECTION, GUI (NSN: 1420-01-540-8608, Part# 13540365, NAICS-336419), TEST SET, ROCKET LAU (NSN: 4933-01-711-0503, Part# 13547638, NAICS-334419), and TEST SET, GUIDED MIS (NSN: 4993-01-710-7883, NAICS-334419). Responses will help determine if future efforts can be competitive or set aside for small businesses. Responses are due September 25, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for a one-time acquisition of the listed MLRS spare parts. Contractors will be responsible for all aspects of manufacturing/production, including supply chain management, logistics, forecasting, long-lead parts procurement, material forecasting, obsolescence issues, and final delivery. This also includes recurring and nonrecurring engineering services associated with becoming a qualified source. The procurement consists of multiple requirements based on forecasted demands, and subsequent solicitations will include requests for Economic Order Quantities (EOQs).
