The Defense Logistics Agency at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify qualified manufacturing/supply sources for a PUMP, AXIAL PISTONS (NSN 1650-01-516-6740, Part No. 145HS100-5) supporting the CHINOOK weapon system; no solicitation is available at this time. The NAICS code is 336413 with a 1,250-employee size standard, and the Government is interested in all business types, including 8(a), small, small disadvantaged, SDVOSB, HUBZone, and women-owned concerns. Because the Government does not own and cannot obtain the data rights and reverse engineering is uneconomical, the acquisition is currently limited to responsible sources under FAR 6.302-1(a)(1). Interested contractors must meet prequalification requirements and are encouraged to pursue source approval through AvMC’s public website; the contractor would be responsible for qualification engineering and all manufacturing/production aspects, including supply chain, logistics, forecasting, long-lead procurement, obsolescence, and final delivery. This notice is for informational/planning purposes only, does not constitute a solicitation or promise to issue one, and no funds are available to pay for response preparation.
