GASKET 5330-01-472-8179

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Office in Columbus, OH is conducting market research for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) to supply a specific gasket (NSN 5330‑01‑472‑8179). This is a “sources‑sought” notice; DLA is not yet requesting offers but wants to identify qualified manufacturers or distributors who can produce the part. Respondents are asked to complete a questionnaire within five business days, indicating company size, SBA status, manufacturing capability, interest in a three‑year base period with optional extensions, and ability to provide cost or pricing data if required. The goal is to shape a future solicitation and determine if a long‑term contract (base period of three years, with possible option years) is feasible. • Item: Gasket, NSN 5330‑01‑472‑8179 (part numbers listed for AM General and General Motors). • Procurement type: Sources‑sought/market research (RFI). • Anticipated contract: Indefinite Quantity Contract, 3‑year base period, option years thereafter. • Target suppliers: Manufacturers or distributors capable of producing the gasket; SBA‑classified small businesses are welcomed. • Required response: Complete the DLA‑provided questionnaire and return within 5 business days of receipt. • Delivery: To DLA Depots; inspection/acceptance at destination.
