The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Richmond) is conducting market research through a Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation SPE4A726R0600) to identify small‑business manufacturers capable of producing the breechplate (NSN 5865‑014366123, Part 3837AS100‑001) required for F/A‑18 aircraft variants. The effort calls for an estimated 1,212 units and is fully set‑aside for total small‑business participation (NAICS 334511). Respondents must submit (1) organization name, address, email, and telephone, and (2) a tailored capability statement with supporting documentation that demonstrates organizational and staff capacity to meet the requirement. Submissions are voluntary, the government assumes no cost, and the response deadline is 26 May 2026, 16:00 ET. Because DLA‑Weapons Support (Richmond) only accepts Source Approval Requests (SAR) via the DoDSafe portal, interested firms must email dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil (subject “Request a SAR drop off”) including their CAGE code, the NSN, and the email address for the DoDSafe link. Upon receipt, DLA will provide the secure drop‑off location for the SAR file. Point of contact for questions is Johanna Cruz (johanna.cruzcruz@dla.mil, 804‑837‑6423). The place of performance is New Cumberland, Pennsylvania (ZIP 17070).
