Carrier, Gear Assembly

Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime seeks seven carrier gear assemblies (NSN 3010-01-570-7426) with a 100% option, firm fixed price, with proposals due March 16, 2026. Amendment 0002, issued March 4, extends the deadline from the original March 13 date and materially alters supply chain documentation requirements.

This is not a set-aside procurement. Only two manufacturers' part numbers are approved: Meritor, Inc. (CAGE 3D6E9, P/N 320001045A01168) or Oshkosh Defense, LLC (CAGE 75Q65, P/N 17KP694). Place of performance is delivery to SR WOMC Army General Supply at DLA Distribution Red River in Texarkana, Texas, FOB Destination, with inspection and acceptance at origin. Delivery is required 240 calendar days after award; the separately priced option for seven additional units may be exercised within 365 days of award.

Amendment 0002 introduces a mandatory Supply Chain Traceability Documentation requirement effective at offer submission. All offerors other than the manufacturer must submit acceptable documentation or face offer rejection. The contractor must confirm current possession of and commitment to retain supply chain traceability documentation demonstrating conformance to technical requirements and origination from approved manufacturers, including basic item descriptions, part numbers, drawings or specifications, NSNs, manufacturing sources, CAGE codes, and identification of all supply chain intermediaries from manufacturer through contractor to government acceptance. Manufacturers' batch identification (date codes, lot codes, serial numbers) must be included if available. The contractor must obtain and retain written documentation of all inspections and tests substantiating conformance; documentation must be provided to the contracting officer within three business days upon request and retained for ten years after final payment. Non-compliance may result in cancellation of undelivered orders or rejection of delivered supplies.

Military-level packaging and marking per MIL-STD-2073-1 and MIL-STD-129 are required. The solicitation includes a reverse auction provision; if a reverse auction is held, contractors must register in the reverse auction system and contractor representatives must complete on-line reverse auction training prior to participation. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible offeror.
