All responses must be submitted electronically to evan.j.caulfield.civ@army.mil. The quotation deadline is 12 AUG 2026. Delivery is scheduled 120 calendar days from award receipt for two units, followed by 90 calendar days from first article test approval for the remaining 13 units under CLIN 0001, or 180 calendar days from award receipt for all 15 units under CLIN 0002. Inspection and acceptance occur at the contractor's plant, with FOB destination and contractor-paid transportation. The manufacturer's cage code is 19206, part number 00X974048, under NAICS 331110 with a DPAS priority rating of DO-A5.
