The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, is seeking sources for the procurement of a Mechanical Hardware Kit, identified by NSN 5340-01-682-2730. The primary objective is to identify manufacturers capable of producing this hardware kit, as the government does not own the rights to the data necessary for purchasing from additional sources, making it uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This hardware kit is crucial for defense operations, and currently, Defense Maritime Solutions, Inc. is the approved source for this item. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their qualifications and capabilities to the Contract Specialist, MAJ George Sawyer, at george.sawyer@DLA.mil, by the specified response date to be considered for approval as a source.
