The document is a Sources Sought Synopsis issued by the Defense Logistics Agency regarding the M299 Longbow Hellfire (LBHF) Launcher. It serves as a market research tool to identify potential manufacturing and supply sources for production, spares, and engineering services linked to this weapon system. Currently, there is no active solicitation, and the agency is contemplating awarding a contract to Lockheed Martin due to the limited number of responsible sources available. The initiative targets all types of businesses, including small and disadvantaged firms, with an interest in meeting prequalification requirements to compete in future solicitations. The responsibility of the selected contractor includes comprehensive management of the manufacturing process, supply chain logistics, and engineering services required for qualification.
