DLA Land and Maritime is running a sources sought notice (market research, not a bid request) for a Projectile Rack Assembly, NSN 2590-01-179-9039. It wants to find companies able to make this part. The notice is marked as a total small business set-aside and gives no quantity, location or contract length.
Watch out for
- Approved-source part. Only approved sources may be able to supply this part, and a new company must prove its product matches the original, which takes technical data and time.
The onus is on the contractor to document and demonstrate their product is equal to, or better, than the currently approved item
- Market research only. A sources sought notice is not a solicitation, so responding does not secure a contract.
Read from the notice text only.
