Description

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) aims to improve product availability and increase competition on a multitude of NSN items for the Nuclear Enterprise Support Office by introducing capable, small business suppliers through the Source Approval Request process. Addition of approved sources for these critical/weapon system items can lead to reduced cost and decreased lead times. Expediting the procurement and subsequent installation of these critical components can facilitate NESO in supporting the needs of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy nuclear communities. For this effort, an additional source for NSN 5306-01-014-7736, a precision hex head bolt, is desired. Mainstream will manufacture this item using one of our automated production CNC machining centers. Mainstream intends to complete a low-rate production run during Phase I, demonstrating our ability to produce and supply this item in quantities desired by the DLA. Mainstream will submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) application in an effort to become an approved suppler for future production bids.
