    Sources Sought D14H0709D1.doc
    The Defense Logistics Agency has issued a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) to identify potential sources for manufacturing a Safety and Arming Device pertinent to the Patriot Weapon System. This SSS aims to gather information for market research, focusing on whether future acquisition efforts can be competitive or designated for small businesses. The associated NAICS Code is 336414, with a size standard of 1,300 employees. The agency is particularly interested in all types of businesses, including those classified as 8(a), small, disadvantaged, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned. The document emphasizes that this SSS does not constitute a solicitation and responses are voluntary, with no obligation for the government to award a contract. Interested contractors are encouraged to seek source approval to participate in potential future solicitations. They must demonstrate their capability to meet prequalification standards and manage the entire manufacturing process, including compliance with specific engineering and logistics requirements. This SSS therefore acts as a preliminary step in gauging interest and capacity among suppliers for upcoming defense needs.
