The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking information from potential sources for the procurement of a shouldered shaft (NSN: 3040-01-156-5372, Part Number: 7-211350027-3) required for the AH-64 Apache weapon system. This Sources Sought Synopsis aims to identify manufacturers capable of meeting the prequalification requirements, as the government cannot acquire the necessary data rights for this part, making reverse engineering impractical. The procurement is crucial for maintaining the operational readiness of the Apache system, and the DLA encourages participation from small and disadvantaged businesses. Interested parties should contact Rhondalyn Mack at rhondalyn.mack@dla.mil or Scott Wilhite at SCOTT.WILHITE@DLA.MIL for further information, noting that responses are for market research purposes only and do not constitute a commitment for future solicitation.
