The government is seeking to acquire 96 electronic test sets (NSN: 6625016820146, Part Number: 12992652) for use as components in Abrams end items. The current sole source is DRS Technologies (CAGE Code: 24290). The government is canvassing industry to identify alternative sources capable of manufacturing this item, which is designated as a source-controlled or selected item per ASME Y14.100 standards. Suitable technical data and government data rights are not available to permit acquisition from alternative sources, nor is qualification testing of substitute parts feasible in the intended application.
Responses to this market research inquiry are due by October 1, 2026, and submission is purely voluntary with no financial responsibility assumed by the government. This notice is not an open solicitation and does not constitute a Request for Proposal or Invitation for Bid. Interested companies must understand that qualification testing and evaluation are required to become approved sources, source approval does not guarantee future business, and approval only provides the opportunity to compete on future solicitations. Additional information regarding the Source Approval Program and requirements for submitting a Source Approval Request (SAR) package is available through TACOM's website. Inquiries should be directed to the Source Approval Officer at usarmy.detroit.tacom.mbx.lcmc-market-surveys@mail.mil.
