The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the manufacture of a cable assembly, specifically NSN 6150-01-593-9701, part number 176628-1. Interested parties must demonstrate their capability to provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment for the production, inspection, testing, and shipping of the item, as well as manage supply chain logistics and address any material shortages. This procurement is crucial for maintaining the operational readiness of defense systems, and the DLA may set this requirement aside for small businesses based on the responses received. Interested vendors should submit their capability statements by October 31, 2024, at 2:00 PM EST, to Cassandra Cooper at cassandra.cooper@dla.mil.
