About this file
This is a Pre-Solicitation Synopsis for a sole-source federal contract opportunity.
The Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) intends to award a four-year requirements contract to DRS Sustainment Systems, Inc (DRS-SSI), located in Bridgeton, Missouri (CAGE code 98255), for continued production of the Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) system. The contract, identified as W912CH-26-R-0037, will employ a hybrid pricing structure combining Firm-Fixed Price (FFP), Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), and Cost Reimbursement (no fee) terms. Funding will utilize Wheeled and Tracked Combat Vehicle procurement funds for fiscal years 2026 through 2029, with an estimated requirement of 18 systems. The scope includes the Bridge Launch Mechanism (BLM) integrated onto government-furnished M1A1 chassis with heavy A2 suspension, plus ancillary hardware and services including Authorized Stockage List items, Special Tools and Test Equipment, and Contractor Logistics Support.
The Government is pursuing sole-source acquisition authority under Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), implemented via FAR 6.302-1, based on the determination that follow-on production of this specialized equipment from the original source will prevent substantial cost duplication to the Government. This Pre-Solicitation Synopsis is informational only and does not constitute a competitive request for proposals. No award will be made based on responses to this notice, as the Government intends to proceed directly to contract award with DRS-SSI.
