Defense Logistics AgencyCloses September 29, 2026

What the agency is buying

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is looking to purchase 196 engine cooling system pumps. There is also an option for the agency to buy an additional 100% of the quantity, meaning up to 196 more pumps.

These pumps must be manufactured by Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc. (CAGE 72582) or another source that has been pre-approved by the agency. This is a one-time purchase with the potential for an increased order.

Key dates and deadlines

The solicitation was published on August 26, 2026. All offers must be submitted by September 29, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET. It is important to submit your proposal before this exact time and date.

The solicitation states that offers are due 30 days after its release. Always check the solicitation document itself for the definitive due date and time.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for manufacturers or suppliers of engine cooling system pumps, specifically those who are authorized to provide items made by Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc. or other approved sources. The National Stock Number (NSN) for the item is 2930-01-292-6558 and the Part Number is 5149380.

Vendors experienced in supplying equipment to defense agencies, particularly the DLA, will find this relevant. If you are not an approved source, you would need to become one to be considered.

How to respond

To access the solicitation documents, you will need to go to the original source portal. You may need to click the link twice if it initially directs you to the portal's homepage. While some documents are viewable without an account, you might need a free account to download all necessary files.

Technical data is not available for this procurement directly. However, Strategic Procurement Information (SPI) is available. To get access to the SPI, you must request it through the associated pre-solicitation notice, which shares the same solicitation number, SPRDL1-26-R-0061. No hard copies of the solicitation will be provided; you must download it from Sam.gov.

Tips for a competitive response

Carefully review the solicitation document for all requirements, terms, and conditions. Pay close attention to the specific part numbers and manufacturer restrictions. Ensure your proposal clearly demonstrates that your product meets these exact specifications.

Since this is a restricted procurement to approved sources, if you are not Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc., ensure you have documented proof of your approved source status ready to include with your submission. Double-check all submission instructions and deadlines to avoid disqualification. Submit your offer well in advance of the 1:00 PM ET deadline on September 29, 2026, to account for any potential technical issues.
