The Defense Logistics Agency is seeking qualified sources to manufacture DELAY LINE components (NSN 5999-01-609-2268 and 5999-01-609-2260) in support of the PATRIOT weapon system, with performance expected at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. This is a sources sought synopsis for market research only, not a solicitation, and no budget amounts are specified. The acquisition is currently planned under a sole-source basis due to the lack of government-held technical data or rights, but the agency is interested in all businesses, including 8(a), small, and disadvantaged concerns. Contractors must meet prequalification requirements and be capable of handling all manufacturing, engineering, and logistics aspects, including supply chain management and obsolescence issues. Export control restrictions apply, requiring active U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification for access to controlled data.
