Fiber Rope Assembly

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is conducting a market research survey to determine an acquisition strategy for the procurement of a Fiber Rope Assembly (NSN: 4020-00-881-8736). The agency anticipates issuing a solicitation for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a total term not to exceed five years, consisting of a base period and potential one-year option periods. The purpose of this survey is informational and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP). DLA is seeking industry feedback to understand market capabilities, commercial availability, production lead times, pricing stability, and manufacturing constraints. Key areas of inquiry include the respondent's business size and manufacturing status, the commerciality of the item, potential material cost drivers, domestic sourcing capabilities, and the ability to support surge operations or deliver First Articles within 90 days. The survey also requests estimates for unit pricing and delivery times based on an annual estimated quantity of 900 units. Responses, which must not contain proprietary information, must include company contact details, socioeconomic status, SAM registration verification, and the completed questionnaire. Feedback must be submitted via email to Kyle Barner and Nicole Scott by Friday, August 7, 2026.
