AGT 1500 Engine Procurement

The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a Sources Sought Notice and market research survey to identify potential vendors capable of manufacturing the Automotive Gas Turbine (AGT) 1500 Engine for the U.S. Army and Foreign Military Sales countries. The engines will support the Tank M1 Abrams Family of Vehicles. Interested vendors must demonstrate manufacturing capabilities, quality management systems, first article testing experience, and possess a current DD 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement to access the associated Technical Data Package with distribution code D. The government is seeking detailed information from potential vendors regarding company profile, business type, production lead times, monthly production rates, current pricing, and manufacturing locations. This notice does not constitute a guarantee of a future solicitation or contract award, as it is issued for government planning and acquisition strategy development purposes only. Responses must be submitted via email to the designated contract specialist by 12:00 PM EST on December 8, 2025.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and includes no identified incumbent contractor or current contractor information in the available documentation. The survey seeks to procure 147 engines, representing the specific quantity requirement for this government planning effort. No explicit award value or budget range is provided in the pre-solicitation notice, as this is a market research phase intended to inform future acquisition decisions rather than an active solicitation. The procurement is classified under NAICS Code 333611 (Turbine and Turbine Generator Set Units Manufacturing) and PSC Code 2835 (Gas Turbines and Jet Engines). Vendors responding to this market research survey should be prepared to discuss their production capabilities, lead times, and pricing structures, though formal proposals are not required at this stage.
