Mobility Platform Prototyping

The Mobility Platform Prototyping Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, managed by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and supporting the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), focuses on design, engineering, fabrication, and testing of prototype components and systems for Department of Defense (DOD) vehicles and mobility platforms. The contract covers a wide range of vehicle types, including Ground Mobility Vehicle (GMV), Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP), Light All-Terrain Vehicle (LTATV), Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), and Non Standard Commercial Vehicle (NSCV). The contract's total potential value is $74 million, with a performance period through July 20, 2026, and encompasses four primary technology areas: powertrain performance prototyping, advanced chassis/mobility handling, mobility testing services, and general prototype fabrication and integration.

Task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a consistent pattern of firm-fixed-price delivery orders primarily issued by the Department of the Air Force, with values ranging from $1,000 minimum guarantee orders to more substantial contracts exceeding $1.1 million. Frequent prime contractors include Hodges Transportation (Nevada Automotive Test Center), RCR Manufacturing Solutions, GS Engineering, and Hendrick Dynamics, with performance locations spread across states like North Carolina, Michigan, Nevada, and Indiana. Most task orders focus on specific vehicle prototype development, testing, and evaluation, such as autonomous vehicle testing, suspension solution development, cold start kit design, and combat bumper prototyping. The contract does not consistently apply set-aside designations, though some contractors are small businesses or HUBZone-certified. Typical task order durations range from several months to two years, with most supporting ground vehicle mobility, testing, and advanced technology integration for special operations and military applications.
