We’ve discovered a solicitation for 36 steering and brake assemblies that did not receive any responses from contractors. The last supplier was Ronal Industries in January 2020 for $34,997 in quantity of 9 units. Based on this price, the total contract value could be $1,259,892. Two years ago, the same assembly was sold to DLA for $15,264.
The recent procurement history leads us to believe that either the contractor missed this one or was unable to source the components for the assembly in time. Required delivery by DLA is 330 days. In either case, it could be an opportunity for another company.
Ronal Industries is the OEM for stock number 2530-00-008-3726. Their part number is 2587729. DLA indicates that data rights are uneconomical, but according to other government codes drawings may be available at Coastal Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama, Systems Station Dahlgren Division.
DLA does not provide information about which vehicle this system belongs. However, we know it’s for the left side and consists of a housing assembly, tube assembly, gear assembly, cam ring assembly, plate, and yoke. We’ve reached out to the buyer for more detail.
