The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, is seeking sources for the procurement of brake shoes, specifically identified by National Stock Number (NSN) 3040-01-576-5056. The procurement is aimed at identifying manufacturers capable of producing these items, as the current approved sources are limited to Industrial Clutch & Brake Inc and Farin Industries Inc, with restrictions on sourcing due to the lack of available technical data for alternative suppliers. The brake shoes are critical components in various military applications, and the DLA is conducting a market survey to gather information on potential suppliers' manufacturing capabilities, delivery timelines, and pricing, with responses due by October 4, 2024. Interested parties should contact Contract Specialist Travis Grafton at travis.grafton@dla.mil for further details and to submit their qualifications.
