The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources for a Non-driving Vehicular Axle for Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) systems, specifically for NSN 2530-01-718-9335. This pre-solicitation notice is a Sources Sought Notice targeting manufacturers capable of producing axle components for military vehicles. Qualification testing and evaluation will be required for potential suppliers to become an approved source, with the understanding that approval does not guarantee future business. The Source Approval Program will be the mechanism through which potential contractors can be evaluated, with interested parties required to submit a complete Source Approval Request (SAR) Package. The official response deadline is February 7, 2025, with interested manufacturers directed to review detailed requirements on the TACOM Source Approval Program website.

The pre-solicitation does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified manufacturers in the Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing sector. The contract includes a base period quantity of 3 axle units and an additional 3 units for the option period. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the notice. Potential suppliers will need to demonstrate technical capabilities and meet stringent military specification standards for the HEMTT axle component. The procurement process emphasizes that qualifying as an approved source only provides an opportunity to compete in future solicitations, not a guarantee of contract award. Interested manufacturers can contact the Source Approval Officer via the provided email for additional information and guidance on the submission process.
