DLA Aviation issued a sources sought notice as market research to determine whether other companies can manufacture or legitimately obtain NSN 1650-003216273, a pilot and shu cover currently manufactured by Hydro-Aire Aerospace Corp under P/N 86065. This is not a solicitation or request for offer, and the government is not obligated to award a contract; no funds are available to pay for response preparation. Because the item is source controlled, DLA cannot approve new sources, and interested companies must contact the design control activity on the source control drawing to qualify their product for future acquisitions. Responses are strictly voluntary.
