The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is preparing to solicit bids for automotive axle assemblies, specifically for front and rear driving axles used in military vehicles. The pre-solicitation notice indicates the agency intends to award a firm fixed price contract with a base year and one 1-year option period. Two specific axle assemblies are being procured: a rear axle (NSN 2520-01-577-1837) with a base quantity of 21 units and a front axle (NSN 2520-01-577-1840) with a base quantity of 30 units. The solicitation documents are expected to be posted to the System for Award Management (SAM) within approximately two weeks from the March 14, 2025 pre-solicitation notice date. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, vendors will need to meet military packaging standards and be capable of delivering parts from specified CAGE codes.

The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific small business category, indicating it is open to all qualified vendors in the Motor Vehicle Steering and Suspension Components manufacturing sector (NAICS 336330). The parts can be sourced from two potential manufacturers with CAGE codes 1YHH8 and 3D6E9, who have specific part numbers 1001096670 (rear axle) and 1001096671 or 320001745A03456 (front axle). Delivery will be FOB Origin, with inspection and acceptance also occurring at the origin point. The total potential quantity includes 21 rear axle units and 30 front axle units in the base period, with identical option quantities available. The final solicitation is due by March 31, 2025, suggesting potential vendors should prepare their proposals and review the detailed specifications when they become available on SAM.
