This is a request for potential manufacturers of a specific part currently sourced exclusively from Cadillac Gage Textron Inc. The government lacks the technical data to competitively procure this item but is actively working to obtain the necessary rights, and the part is a candidate for reverse engineering. Companies wishing to become qualified as an approved source must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DLA Land and Maritime program. This package must demonstrate the ability to manufacture a product of equal or better quality than the current OEM. All information from potential sources must be submitted directly to the Contract Specialist by the specified response date.
