Circuit card assembly

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources for a Circuit Card Assembly (NSN 5998-01-506-6659, Part Number 12993408), a critical component of the Abrams Fighting Vehicle System (AFVS) Engine. This is a Sources Sought Notice published in compliance with FAR Part 10 market research requirements to canvas the industry for alternative sources beyond the current supplier. The Government does not possess drawings suitable for competitive procurement, as the Technical Data Package (TDP) is fully defined but the government lacks full data rights to the item. Interested contractors must meet the requirements of the Source Approval Program, which includes vehicle-level qualification testing at their own expense, with TACOM Life Cycle Management Command's Competition Management Office serving as the lead proponent. The response deadline for this market research survey is April 29, 2026, and submission of information is purely voluntary with no financial responsibility assumed by the Government for response costs. It is important to note that this notice does not constitute a request for proposals and is preliminary in nature.

There is no set-aside designation applied to this procurement. The procurement involves a quantity of 37 units with an additional 37-unit option quantity, indicating potential for ongoing supply. No incumbent contractor is identified in this notice, and no specific award value or budget range is disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. Contractors seeking to become qualified sources should contact the TACOM Source Approval Program through the Army's TACOM website for specific requirements and point-of-contact information. The market research period runs through April 29, 2026, after which the Government will evaluate industry responses to determine the viability of alternative sources for this critical engine component used in Army vehicle systems.
