This is a sources sought synopsis for market research, not a solicitation, to identify potential manufacturers for a specific tow system evaluation item (NSN 6130-01-681-8278) under NAICS 335999, which has a 600-employee size standard. The acquisition is currently planned as a sole source under FAR 6.103-1(b) due to limited responsible sources, but the government is interested in all businesses, including 8(a), small, service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and women-owned concerns. Interested firms must meet prequalification requirements and seek source approval from the engineering source authority to be eligible for future competitive solicitations. Contractors must be responsible for all aspects of manufacturing, supply chain management, and engineering services, and must comply with export control requirements, including active JCP certification for access to export-controlled data. No performance location or budget amounts are specified in the notice.
