Chain Saw Clamp and File Guide for Manual Chain Sharpening Tool NSN 5110-01-046-5031<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Department of Defense (DoD) is one of the largest buyers of products in the world.\u00a0 Every day DoD posts thousands of solicitations for products they need.\u00a0 Registered suppliers review these solicitations seeking new business opportunities with the Federal Government. For many companies and organizations, supplying products to DoD is their only, or primary business. DoD buys virtually everything, and from time to time we get calls asking questions like: “Does DoD buy my product?”\u00a0 The answer is almost always, “yes.”<\/p>\n

Last week, we were asked, “Does DoD buy manual chainsaw chain sharpeners?” (we’re talking about the type you clamp on to the chainsaw.) As usual, the answer was, “yes.”<\/p>\n

The national stock number (NSN, the DoD’s part number) for the chainsaw chain sharpener purchased by DoD is: 5110-01-046-5031. This item is currently made by Granberg International according to BidLink NSN data<\/a>, DoD buys around 200 of these sharpeners every year.<\/p>\n

This NSN is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and is one of the “Wildland Fire Equipment Products” that DLA offers to their customers.\u00a0 By the way, the corresponding National Fire Equipment System (NFES) number for NSN 5110-01-046-5031 is 0343 or, NFES 0343.<\/p>\n

DLA is one of the primary purchasing and contracting branches of DoD. DLA’s “customers” are the service branches, such as the Army, Navy and Air Force, and also other Federal Government agencies.\u00a0 If your company is looking to sell to the Federal Government, the DoD is definitely one of the\u00a0 places you be should looking for new business.\u00a0 Take a look for yourself<\/a>.<\/p>\n
