Scope: Identify capable manufacturers for a motor vehicle towbar (NSN 2540-01-658-6496). The current approved source is Defense Products and Services Group Small Business (P/N DP007). Because the data needed to acquire this part competitively is not available and cannot be adequately specified for a competitive solicitation, acquisition is expected to come directly from the actual manufacturer. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are acceptable.

If your company can manufacture this item to OEM quality, you may pursue approval as an Alternate Offer/Source through the SAR (Alternate Offer/Source Approval) Program. A SAR package must demonstrate the ability to produce the item to at least the OEM level of quality. Detailed SAR guidance and the required format are available through the DLA Land and Maritime SAR process. Submit applicable information to the contract specialist by the stated response date.
