Clutch, Fan, Engine

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking qualified suppliers for engine fan clutches (NSN 2930-01-668-5049) used in the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) system, specifically for M1070 trucks and M1000 trailer combinations that transport tanks and military equipment. This pre-solicitation notice (SPRDL125R0159) indicates that the agency will conduct qualification testing and evaluation to establish approved sources for this critical component, which regulates engine cooling by modulating fan speed based on temperature to optimize fuel efficiency and minimize engine wear. Interested contractors must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package and meet all qualification requirements to become an approved source; however, approval does not guarantee future business awards. The evaluation will be based on qualification testing results, with the deadline for submission set at February 23, 2026. Contractors should direct inquiries to the Source Approval Officer at usarmy.detroit.tacom.mbx.mso-ombudsman@army.mil and reference the Source Approval Program guidance available through TACOM.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all eligible contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The procurement calls for a minimum quantity of 60 units with a potential maximum of up to 1,483 units, indicating a substantial volume requirement for ongoing supply. No incumbent contractor information or specific award value has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. Suppliers should note that the Government does not possess rights to the technical data package or specifications for this component, which may affect intellectual property considerations in the contracting process. The NAICS classification of 336350 (Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing) and PSC code 2930 (Engine Cooling System Components, Nonaircraft) identify this as a manufacturing opportunity within the defense industrial base.
