    The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has issued a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) to conduct market research for a Keyboard, Computer (NSN: 1430-01-217-2378, Part Number: 13220107) needed for the PATRIOT weapon system. This request aims to identify potential manufacturing sources and determine if future procurement efforts might be competitive or set aside for small businesses, particularly those classified under various socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned businesses. The existing design necessitates engineering source approval to maintain quality, leading to the acquisition being procured under a single responsible source due to unique manufacturing capabilities not available to the government. Interested businesses are encouraged to seek source approval by contacting the DLA. The SSS serves as an informational and planning document, clarifying that it does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment for a contract. Additionally, it notes export control restrictions on the relevant technical data, requiring that offerors possess the necessary certifications to access such data. This SSS reflects DLA's efforts to engage the qualified industrial base and stimulate competition in future acquisitions related to defense capabilities.
    The document outlines a government Request for Proposal (RFP) for the acquisition of computer keyboards tied to the M-D6 Patriot Missile Systems under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The RFP specifies a minimum of 47 units, with a maximum of 67, and includes details on production lead times for both scenarios—with and without First Article Testing. Notably, the acquisition is restricted to Korry Electronics Co. and Raytheon Company, highlighting the necessity for engineering source approval to sustain quality. Interested offerors must meet prequalification criteria to compete, and must be certified under the Joint Certification Program to access export-controlled data. The document emphasizes compliance with export regulations, asserting that any foreign firms must process their solicitation requests through their respective embassies. The closing date is provisional and may change based on solicitation release. Overall, this RFP demonstrates the government's strategy to ensure secure procurement while maintaining stringent quality and compliance standards across military specifications.
