What the government is buying
DLA Mechanicsburg is soliciting bids for a cylinder assembly, specifically National Stock Number 3040-01-426-0986 under item name "CYLINDER ASSEMBLY - 7HH." This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 3040, which covers miscellaneous power transmission equipment. Items in this class typically include hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, actuators, and related mechanical power transmission components used in military and maritime applications.
The Defense Logistics Agency's Maritime supply chain supports Navy and Marine Corps platforms, so this cylinder assembly likely serves shipboard or shore-based mechanical systems—potentially steering gear, hatch mechanisms, valve operators, or other hydraulic/pneumatic systems where linear motion control is required.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no small business set-aside. Any responsible manufacturer or supplier capable of meeting DLA's technical and quality requirements may bid, including large businesses. However, small businesses registered under NAICS 333613 remain eligible to compete.
Given the specificity of the NSN, bidders typically fall into two categories: (1) the original equipment manufacturer or approved source with existing technical data packages, or (2) qualified alternate sources who can demonstrate compliance with military specifications and obtain DLA's source approval. DLA's mechanical power transmission solicitations often require adherence to MIL-STD or specific performance standards; see the solicitation for exact qualification requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
For established sources: If you are an approved source for NSN 3040-01-426-0986, focus on pricing competitiveness and delivery schedule. DLA Maritime awards frequently go to lowest reasonable price with acceptable delivery.
For potential alternate sources: You will likely need to address source approval. Review whether the solicitation includes First Article Testing (FAT) requirements or qualification procedures. For FSC 3040 items, you should expect requirements around materials certification, dimensional tolerances, pressure ratings, finish specifications, and traceability documentation.
For all bidders:
- Register in SAM.gov with NAICS 333613 if not already active
- Request technical data packages early through DLA's Engineering Support Division if you lack drawings; lead times for technical data can exceed response windows
- Review the Military Standard reference associated with this NSN; cylinder assemblies typically require specific seal materials, corrosion resistance, and proof pressure testing
- Examine past performance requirements and ensure your CPARS/PPIRS records are current
- Confirm your supply chain for raw materials and any subcontracted machining or plating operations meets DFARS sourcing restrictions
- Factor in packaging requirements for military preservation and packing, which DLA enforces rigorously and bills separately
