Contract Opportunity Analysis

DLA Aviation, within the Defense Logistics Agency of the Department of Defense, is seeking sources for NSN 3110-01-524-5166, a self-aligning roller bearing for the Minuteman III missile, under a total small business set-aside. The action asks qualified manufacturers to identify themselves and, if available, provide the manufacturer’s city and state and relevant points of contact for the bearing item, with a stated quantity of 207. SAR guidance indicates that source approval requests for open solicitations should be sent directly to the buyer, and DLA Aviation routes SAR submissions through DoDSafe after an email request that includes the CAGE code, NSN, and recipient email address. Responses should be sent to Matthew Diefes or Kee-Sha Epps-Eskridge, and one approved source is listed as Custom Precision Bearings, CAGE 4HN41.

AI Summary
The document outlines the process for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) to the DLA Aviation. SARs for items with open solicitations should be sent directly to the buyer. SARs will not be evaluated for fully competitive items (AMSC “G”). For NSNs without open solicitations, detailed instructions on where to send the SARs are provided, along with a recommendation to review the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application for demand forecasting. The document also advises checking PUB LOG FLIS to identify managing services and approved sources for an item, as separate SARs may be needed for each service. The review process can take over 180 days, with formal notification of the decision. SARs may not be processed if deemed not cost-effective due to low item demand.
