Currently, OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC is the only approved source for this item due to the lack of necessary data for competitive procurement and the economic impracticality of reverse engineering the product. This equipment is critical for military operations, and the DLA is encouraging other manufacturers to submit their capabilities to be considered as approved sources. Interested parties should contact Contract Specialist Paul Kelley at paul.kelley@dla.mil and are advised to review the Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program for application details, with submissions due by the specified response date.

    The Market Survey Questionnaire issued by DLA Land & Maritime seeks information from potential suppliers regarding their ability to provide specific items for a forthcoming request for proposals (RFP). Vendors are asked to complete the survey by October 1, 2024, detailing aspects like their business size (large or small), manufacturing capabilities, stock status of the items, and relevant procurement codes. Key inquiries include whether the items are commercial, if they deal directly with the government or through dealers, their delivery timelines, and compliance with RFID standards. Suppliers need to indicate their interest in a Firm Fixed Price Contract and provide a breakdown of pricing structures, including any volume discounts. The document emphasizes obtaining detailed insights so that DLA can formulate a realistic solicitation. This survey is part of compliance and procurement processes, ensuring that vendors meet government standards and deadlines while addressing logistical considerations for item delivery. Overall, the document’s purpose is to facilitate efficient contract acquisition and comprehensive partner evaluation for the Defense Logistics Agency.
    The document discusses a specific National Stock Number (NSN: 3830-01-584-7744) for which OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC (75Q65) is currently the only approved source for procurement. This exclusivity arises because acquiring these items through competitive means is unfeasible due to the absence of necessary data and the economic impracticality of reverse engineering. The Contract Specialist, Paul Kelley, seeks any additional manufacturers that could provide these items, encouraging submissions to be sent to him by a specified response date. To be considered as an approved source, interested companies may apply through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires them to submit technical data demonstrating their capability to produce an equivalent or superior product compared to the original equipment manufacturer. The document underscores the importance of compliance with standards and technical criteria established by the DLA. Moreover, it directs potential applicants to additional resources for understanding the application and approval process for becoming an approved source.
