About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of the Army's Contracting Command at Detroit Arsenal, Michigan has issued a Special Notice announcing its intention to award a sole source contract to General Dynamics Land Systems for Abrams armor research and development integration. The contract, designated W912CH-26-D-0002, will support the continued design, integration, and validation of Government Furnished Information (GFI) armor designs and concepts for existing and future Abrams Main Battle Tanks and their variants. This sole source procurement falls under the Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences NAICS category (541715) and is classified under the National Defense R&D Services product service code (AC32). The Army plans to utilize Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 6.302-1(A) authority to justify the sole source award. The notice was posted on August 29, 2025, with a response deadline of September 29, 2025.

The primary objective of this contract is to provide comprehensive technical support for government-directed armor improvements through design integration, test plan preparation, ballistic test hardware fabrication, and ongoing technical assistance. The contractor must deliver final integrated classified armor designs using computer-aided design (CAD) three-dimensional parametric solid modeling that remains compatible with computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software and processes. The anticipated contract will span five years from October 24, 2025, through October 23, 2030, requiring a total level of effort of 27,410 man-hours. Since this is a sole source procurement specifically directed to General Dynamics Land Systems of Sterling Heights, Michigan, no competitive bidding process will occur, and other contractors are not eligible to participate in this particular opportunity. The notice serves as advance notification of the Army's intent to proceed with this single-source contract modification under established federal acquisition regulations.
