The Defense Logistics Agency is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a shipping and storage item supporting the CHINOOK (CH-47) weapon system, though no solicitation is currently available. The government does not own the data rights for this part and considers reverse engineering uneconomical, so the acquisition is expected to be limited to a small number of responsible sources. All interested businesses, including 8(a), small, small disadvantaged, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned concerns, are encouraged to identify themselves. Contractors must meet prequalification requirements and seek source approval to compete for future solicitations, and will be responsible for all engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and delivery costs. Responses are voluntary and for planning purposes only, with no commitment to award a contract.
