Indefinite Delivery Contract SPRDL120D0126

This indefinite delivery contract was awarded by the U.S. Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal to Am General LLC, a prime contractor that is a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of light tactical vehicles. The $29.1 million contract covers the procurement of an estimated 1,620 diesel engine assemblies with containers over a 3-year period, with the major component restricted to engines from Am General LLC or General Engine Products LLC. The contract does not utilize any set-asides. Task orders issued under the IDC include firm-fixed price delivery orders for additional quantities of the diesel engines, with work performed at Am General's facilities in South Bend, Indiana and Brighton, Michigan. The original procurement was a pre-solicitation notice from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, indicating the engines are likely intended to support the Army's ground combat and tactical vehicle fleets managed by the Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Life Cycle Management Command.

As a long-standing supplier to the U.S. military, Am General has received numerous awards from the Defense Logistics Agency and Army Materiel Command for a wide range of automotive components, replacement parts, and services in support of military vehicle programs such as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) and the emerging Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). The flexible ordering capability of this IDC allows the Army to rapidly procure critical engine assemblies to maintain and sustain its tactical vehicle inventories.
