NOUN: Vaneaxial Fan Assembly NSN: 4140-01-284-5722 PART NO.: 12268231 ESTIMATED QUANTITY YEAR 1: 381 EA YEAR 2: 103 EA YEAR 3: 102 EA END ITEM: Howitzer, Full Tracked, Self-Propelled 155MM M109 TECHNICAL DATA PACKAGE There is a Technical Data Package (TDP) associated with this procurement.
It is distribution code D which limits access to Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. DoD contractors only. The TDP will be made available to contractors when a sources sought is released and if/when a solicitation is released. To be eligible to gain access to the TDP, the vendor must have a current DD 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement certification on file with the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS).
If the vendor has a current certification, they are required to submit a request to access the TDP in SAM.gov. Access will be granted, pending verification of the contractor’s active registration in Joint Certification Program (JCP). Upon completion of the purposes for which Government Technical Data has been provided, the offeror, and all subcontractors, vendors, and sub-vendors of the offeror, are required to destroy all documents, including all reproductions, duplications, or copies thereof as may have been further distributed.
Destruction of this technical data shall be accomplished by: shredding, pulping, burning, or melting any physical copies of the TDP and/or deletion or removal of downloaded TDP files from computer drives and electronic devices, and any copies of those files. FIRST ARTICLE TESTING: Yes NOTE: All survey input is voluntary, and no compensation will be made for your firm’s participation.
Since this is a Sources Sought Notice, and not a solicitation for receipt of proposals or quotations, the Government does not encourage questions concerning this market research. Furthermore, the Government is not obligated to issue a solicitation or award a contract as a result of this announcement. INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE SURVEY You may respond in total, or in part, to this survey.
However, all responses must be received no later than 02 November 2026. All completed surveys shall be sent via e-mail to: Kaitlyn Fruhner Contract Specialist, ACC-DTA E-mail: [email protected] Subject Line: Sources Sought, W912CH-27-R-A025 Relevant sales media and product manuals may be included as attachments with your submission. Please clearly mark all proprietary information.
The front page of your response package should state "PROPIETARY INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN" (all caps), if applicable. Also, please provide a release statement indicating that the proprietary information may be distributed to Army personnel involved with this survey. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION & LABELING The Government acknowledges its obligations under 18 USC §1905 to protect information qualifying as confidential.
Pursuant to this statute, the Government is willing to accept any trade secret or confidential restrictions placed on qualifying data forwarded in response to the survey questions, and to protect it from unauthorized disclosure subject to the following: Clearly and conspicuously mark qualifying data as trade secret or confidential with the restrictive legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (all caps), including any explanatory text, so that the Government is clearly notified of what data needs to be protected.
In marking such data, please take care to mark only those portions of the data or materials that are truly trade secret or confidential (overbreadth in marking inappropriate data as “CONFIDENTIAL” may diminish or eliminate the usefulness of your response). Use circling, underscoring, highlighting, or any other appropriate means to indicate those portions of a single page that need to be protected.
The Government is not obligated to protect unmarked data. Additionally, marked data that is already in the public domain or in the possession of the Government or third parties, or is afterward placed into the public domain by the owner or another party through no fault of the Government will not be protected once in the public domain. Data already in the Government’s possession will be protected in accordance with the Government’s data rights.
Confidential data transmitted electronically, whether by physical media or not, whether by the respondent or by the Government, shall contain any restrictive legend, with any explanatory text, on both the cover of the transmittal e-mail and at the beginning of the file itself. Where appropriate for portions only of an electronic file, use the restrictive legends “CONFIDENTIAL DATA BEGINS:” and “CONFIDENTIAL PORTION ENDS”.
In any reproductions of technical data or any portions thereof subject to asserted restrictions, the Government shall also reproduce the asserted restriction legend and any explanatory text. The Government sometimes uses support contractors in evaluating responses. Consequently, responses that contain confidential information may receive only limited or no consideration since the respondent’s marking of data as “CONFIDENTIAL” will preclude disclosure of same outside the Government, and therefore will preclude disclosure to support contractors assisting with the evaluation effort.
