Increase Competition through Small Business Source Approval Request (SAR) for DLA Nuclear Enterprise Support Office (NESO) NSN: 1095-00-488-0829

This proposal introduces an approach from Brighton Cromwell to improve product availability and increase competition through the development of Small Business eligible manufacturing utilizing the DLAs Land and Maritime (L&M) Limited Source National Stock Number (NSN) List. The list contains NSNs with an Annual Demand Value (ADV) >$10K currently sourced with only 1-2 manufacturers. We are offering to qualify as an Approved Source for Critical/Weapon System Items/NSNs specifically identified in our proposal. In Phase 1, we will obtain samples through the RPPOB process, perform due diligence, reverse engineer, create engineering drawings, positive material identifications, assign proper quality control documentation, and all pertinent technical activities to complete a technical data package in accordance with the DLA requirements and submit a SAR for evaluation and acceptance. We will assess where our existing manufacturing capability can be adapted to successfully produce competitive specific Critical/Weapon System Items/NSNs and provide that data and business case in our final report. Our long-term goal is to be an approved source for this NSN.
