The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, is seeking sources for the procurement of a specific hardware item identified by NSN 5340-01-512-0408, commonly referred to as "BUMPER." The agency requires manufacturers capable of producing this item, as the data necessary for competitive acquisition is not readily available, necessitating direct procurement from approved sources, specifically Breeze-Eastern LLC. This component is critical for military applications, and companies interested in becoming approved sources must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package demonstrating their capability to meet or exceed the quality of the original equipment manufacturer. Interested parties should contact Contract Specialist Jennifer L. Payne at Jennifer.Payne@dla.mil or by phone at 614-361-7498 for further details and to submit their information by the specified response date.
