CHAIR, PEDESTAL, RADA
No solicitation is currently available; this Sources Sought Synopsis is market research by DLA Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, to identify potential manufacturing/supply sources for a Patriot weapon system pedestal chair (NSN 2090-01-626-0145, Part H424882-1) under NAICS 336611 with a 1,300-employee size standard. The part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity, and the acquisition is currently sole-source under FAR 6.302-1 because approved sources retain essential data rights and manufacturing knowledge. All business types—including 8(a), small business, SDVOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB—are invited to identify themselves, but contractors must meet prequalification requirements and are encouraged to pursue source approval via AvMC’s public website to compete for future solicitations. The contractor would be responsible for recurring and nonrecurring engineering to become qualified plus all manufacturing/production aspects, including supply chain management, logistics, forecasting, long-lead procurement, obsolescence issues, and final delivery. Export-controlled data requires current JCP certification for both the offeror and any supply source, and no funds are available to pay for response preparation.
