The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) for potential manufacturing/supply sources for AIR PURIFICATION EQUI, NSN: 4140-01-286-8852, Part Number: 145DS210-6. This equipment supports the CH-47 CHINOOK weapon system. The DLA aims to identify qualified sources and determine if future acquisitions can be competitive or set aside for small businesses, under NAICS Code 333413 (Size Standard: 500 employees). Currently, the acquisition is sole-sourced due to the government not owning the data rights and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering, falling under FAR 6.302-1(a)(1). The DLA encourages all businesses, including small and disadvantaged concerns, to identify themselves. Contractors must meet prequalification requirements and are responsible for all aspects of manufacturing, supply chain management, logistics, and engineering services to become qualified sources. This SSS is solely for informational purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or a commitment to award a contract.
