The Defense Logistics Agency, specifically DLA Land and Maritime, issued this pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of suspension torsion bars. This acquisition, identified by solicitation number SPE7LX20R0077, falls under NAICS code 332613 for Spring Manufacturing and PSC 2510 for Vehicular Cab, Body, and Frame Structural Components. The agency estimates a yearly requirement of 89 units with a delivery schedule of 168 days. The proposed contract includes options to extend the performance period at the government’s discretion, though the total duration will not exceed five years.

The government intends to solicit and contract with approved sources under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) because it does not possess complete, unrestrictive technical data for these supplies. BAE Systems Land Armaments L.P. is identified as an approved source for this requirement, which includes a family group of items within Federal Supply Class 2510. Evaluation for the final award will consider a combination of price, delivery, past performance, and other factors detailed in the solicitation.

The solicitation is expected to be available on the DLA Internet Bid Board System on or about March 15, 2020. All responsible sources may submit an offer or quote for consideration by the response deadline of May 1, 2020. The small business size standard for this procurement is 500 employees.
