The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support office in Columbus is conducting a market‑research survey to identify qualified sources for transparent armored vehicle windows (NSN 2541‑01‑670‑6556). Vendors are asked to provide pricing, production capacity, and compliance information to determine if a future solicitation will be set‑aside for small‑business categories and whether a fixed‑price contract will be issued. This source‑seeking effort is a prerequisite for developing a realistic solicitation and does not constitute a formal bid. • Item: Transparent vehicular window armor meeting EJCP, NIST, CFAT, PCT standards (NSN 2541‑01‑670‑6556). • Quantity: 370 units total (base 196 EA, options up to 392 EA). • Required data: Quantity‑sensitive pricing, lead‑time, production capacity, commercial‑item determination, and SBA size/status information. • Deadline to submit the market survey: 23 Oct 2027 (response deadline) – earlier internal survey deadline of 30 Sep 2026 for the market‑research questionnaire.
