Description

As published on SAM.gov with the presolicitation of April 15, 2026.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will issue a Request for Proposal on or
about April 30 2026 at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/. The
proposed contract will be solicited as Unrestricted With Other Than Full and Open Competition.
This is not a request for quote or proposal. The purpose of this
prelisolicitation notice is to provide prospective vendors the opportunity to
review the NSN: 2530-01-363-4436.
The NSN listed on the request for proposal will have a contract minimum
and maximum that is set at the NSN level. This will be used to determine if
cost or pricing data would be required with any proposals, and if none of
the exceptions to cost or pricing data were found.
An indefinite quantity contract with one base year and four possible
option years is anticipated. The total duration, base period plus option
years shall not exceed 5 years. The solicitation for 1 NSN, determined as
commercial of a type under FAR 2.101 (3) (i), will be solicited using FAR Part
12 Acquisition of Commercial Items.
Items are all for DLA Direct (Stock) requirements. When solicited, the NSN
will have quantity breaks. The solicitation will specify
Inspection/Acceptance at Origin or Destination and whether Military
Packaging or commercial packaging applies. Government required
delivery will be annotated on the solicitation.
While price may be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final
decision will be based on a combination of price, past performance,
delivery and any other factors listed in the solicitation.
If NSNs are a drawing, the drawings will be located on the cFolders once the solicitation is released. Drawings can be downloaded by authorized
users from the cFolders website via the Internet at
https://pcf1.bsm.dla.mil/cfolders. Problems with cFolders can be
addressed by the cFolders Help Desk at (855) 352-0001 and/or via email at
DSCC.ProdDataCustSvc@dla.mil. Do not call the buyer for Drawing Item
Issues.
The solicitation will be made available on the internet at
https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil under Requests for Proposal (RFP) SPE7LX-
26-R-0060 on or around the solicitation date of April 30 2026. The
solicitation will remain open for 30 days, allowing time for potential
offerors to review the solicitation and related attachments and if applicable, submit proposals.
