Additional Details
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, a division of the Department of Defense, has issued a Sources Sought notice to conduct market research regarding National Stock Number (NSN) 5305-011940609, identified as a Screw, Cap, Socket Head. The primary objective of this notice is to identify potential manufacturers or suppliers who are capable of producing or legitimately obtaining this specific item, which is currently manufactured exclusively by SPS Technologies, LLC (CAGE Code 56878, Part Number 56684-17).
This notice is strictly for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or a request for proposal. The government is not seeking offers at this time, nor does this announcement represent a commitment to procure the item or award a contract. Respondents are advised that any information provided is voluntary, and no reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with responding to this notice.
A critical aspect of this procurement is that the item in question is source controlled. As such, DLA Aviation cannot independently approve new sources for this item. Companies interested in qualifying their products for future acquisitions must engage directly with the design control activity specified on the source control drawing. This process is essential for any entity seeking to become an approved source for this NSN in subsequent procurement actions.
The place of performance for any future procurement related to this item is Richmond, Virginia, United States. The notice is classified under federal procurement activities and is managed by DLA Aviation, with Ryan Loeffelholz serving as the primary point of contact ([email protected], 804-279-1452).
Interested parties are encouraged to respond to this market research notice by May 2, 2026, at 6:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. The notice remains active and can be referenced on SAM.gov under Opportunity ID 558dbc2074444e7c922e138bda0eb624.
Contractors evaluating this opportunity should note the following key considerations:
- The item is source controlled and currently has a single approved manufacturer.
- DLA Aviation cannot approve alternate sources; qualification must be pursued through the design control activity.
- This is a market research effort only, with no guarantee of future solicitation or contract award.
- All responses are voluntary and non-binding.
This notice is particularly relevant for manufacturers or distributors with experience in supplying source-controlled fasteners to the Department of Defense, and who are interested in pursuing qualification for future procurement cycles.
