    Description

    The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is conducting a market survey to identify sources capable of manufacturing parts for the AN/VIC-3 Vehicle Intercommunication System, specifically the NSN 5995-01-392-7365 cable assemblies. These components are critical for Army vehicle operations, integrating with the intercom system used in ground vehicles, and the government possesses a Technical Data Package (TDP) for these parts, which is available for release under strict compliance with ITAR regulations. Interested vendors must submit their capabilities, including documentation such as a completed Contractor Questionnaire, by April 11, 2025, to the designated contacts, Nick Youn and Chris Holzer, via their provided email addresses. This opportunity is part of the DLA's strategic sourcing efforts and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract.

    The document outlines the procedures for obtaining Technical Data Packages (TDPs) related to a specific acquisition, emphasizing compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Interested companies must submit requests via the designated DLA email within seven days of the posting date and ensure they are part of the Defense Logistics Agency's Joint Certification Program (JCP). Key requirements include providing a completed non-disclosure agreement (NDA), a valid DD2345 certification, and a current CAGE verification through the System for Award Management (SAM). TDPs contain sensitive information restricted to U.S. persons only. After confirming a company's eligibility, the government will upload the TDP to a secure DoD SAFE site, providing access via a subsequent email notification. The document underlines the importance of having a consistent data custodian listed in JCP and provides necessary links for compliance and information updates. This process is crucial for entities engaging in defense-related contracts, ensuring adherence to national security protocols.
    The document is a Contractor Questionnaire designed for companies responding to a government Request for Proposal (RFP) related to the AN/VIC-3 intercom system and associated components. It requests essential company information, including a summary of core competencies, contact details, and relevant industry qualifications. A significant focus is on the contractor's past performance, specifically in manufacturing and supplying related items, and their engineering staff's experience with similar technology. Key sections address management of obsolescence issues, the existence of a Program and Assessment Tool for monitoring component availability, and the ability to provide alternatives for obsolete materials. Additionally, the questionnaire emphasizes the contractor's capacity to meet U.S. Government delivery requirements and preferences for Spot Buy and Fixed Quantity contracts. The document ultimately aims to evaluate potential vendors' qualifications and their capability to fulfill government needs effectively while ensuring compliance with delivery schedules and quality standards. This process supports strategic sourcing for federal contracts, emphasizing accountability and transparency in procurement.
    The USE AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT pertains to a market survey for the procurement of a specific NSN related to the AN/VIC-3 System, as identified by SAM.GOV Notice ID: DLA-Aberdeen-25-039. The document outlines the conditions under which the recipient, specified as “Recipient,” can access technical data or software from the government, emphasizing strict limitations on usage to government purposes only. Recipients may not disclose or utilize the data for commercial purposes and must establish security measures to protect this information from unauthorized exposure. Notably, the Recipient agrees to notify the contractor concerning the data provided and to destroy all copies of the data within 30 days post-agreement expiration. The agreement encompasses obligations that extend beyond its expiration date and emphasizes the contractor’s ability to seek damages for any breaches.
