The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, is seeking manufacturers for a specific gear set, identified by NSN 3020-000889020, as part of a presolicitation notice. The procurement aims to acquire this item directly from the actual manufacturer, as the government does not own the rights to the data necessary for alternative sourcing, making it uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. This gear set is critical for mechanical power transmission applications, underscoring its importance in defense operations. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their capabilities to the primary contact, Amber Weaver, at amber.weaver@dla.mil, by the response date of September 16, 2024, and may also consider applying for approval as an “Approved Source” through the DLA's Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request Program.
