About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources for a driving differential axle used in High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), specifically an Up-Armored fleet model with NSN 2520-01-521-0572. This pre-solicitation notice (ID 2024-SPRDL1-25-R-0001) is part of a Source Approval Program that requires potential contractors to undergo qualification testing and evaluation to become an approved source. The axle is a critical component that allows wheels on the same axle to spin at different speeds during turns, ensuring vehicle stability, control, and drivetrain efficiency. Interested vendors must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package by December 18, 2024, through the provided email contact. Qualification does not guarantee business but provides an opportunity to compete in future solicitations.
The contract will be a 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with a minimum buy quantity of 12 units and a maximum estimated buy quantity of 300 units per cycle. There are no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, making it open to all qualified manufacturers in the Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing sector (NAICS 336350). The part number for the differential is 63ZH0, with a CAGE code of 34623-AM. Potential contractors should review the detailed Source Approval Program requirements on the TACOM website and understand that the evaluation will focus on technical capabilities, manufacturing processes, and ability to meet stringent military vehicle component specifications. Interested companies must demonstrate the technical expertise to produce a high-performance differential that meets the demanding operational requirements of military ground vehicles.
Notice text
Sources Sought Notice: 2024-SPRDL1-25-R-0001
Item Name: Axle, Differential, Driving
NSN: 2520-01-521-0572
Part Number: 63ZH0; CAGE 34623-AM General
5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract
Minimum 5-year Buy Quantity: 12/each
Maximum 5-year Buy Quantity (estimated): 300/each
End Item: High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV)
RESPONSE DATE: 18 DEC 2024
REQUIREMENTS DESCRIPTION: The driving differential axle for the HMMWV is a device that allows two wheels on the same axle to spin at different speeds while being powered by the same engine. This is particularly important when a vehicle is turning, as the outer wheel needs to travel a longer distance and spin faster than the inner wheel. The differential ensures that power is distributed evenly to both wheels, making the vehicle's movement smooth and efficient. This differential is specifically designed for use in the Up-Armored HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) fleet. The purpose of this differential is to maintain the vehicle's stability and control, especially during turns. Without a properly functioning differential, the vehicle would experience significant wear and tear on its tires and drivetrain components, leading to reduced efficiency and increased maintenance costs.
