About this award
Am General LLC was awarded a $17.1 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order by the Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command on March 12, 2019, for a weight reduction study of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). The task order, which was completed by June 21, 2022, focused on modifications to specific Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) to support the light weighting initiative aimed at reducing the vehicle's overall mass while maintaining operational capability. The work was performed at Am General's facility in South Bend, Indiana, where the company manufactures and sustains HMMWV production. No small business set-aside was utilized for this award, reflecting Am General's status as a large, established defense contractor with significant expertise in military vehicle engineering and support.
The contract engaged three subcontractors to support the weight reduction effort. Mississippi State University served as a research partner for Phase II activities beginning in September 2020, leveraging the university's engineering and materials research capabilities. Hottinger Bruel & Kjaer Solutions LLC provided technical support for Phase II work, contributing advanced modeling, simulation, and analysis services in the same timeframe. Corvid Technologies, LLC, a small business subsidiary of the Chickasaw Nation based in North Carolina, was awarded a sub-contract in April 2020 for blast simulation analysis, bringing specialized computational physics expertise to assess the structural integrity and performance implications of weight reduction modifications to the vehicle platform.
