Cylinder Assembly, A

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources for a Cylinder Assembly (Actuating Cylinder) used in the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) Model M1070 Truck and M1000 Trailer hydraulic system. This pre-solicitation notice (SPRDL1-25-R-0152) outlines a source approval process for manufacturers of this critical mechanical component that enables lifting, lowering, and maneuvering heavy military equipment. Qualification testing and evaluation are mandatory for potential suppliers, with source approval providing only the opportunity to compete in future solicitations. Interested manufacturers must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) Package through the Army's Source Approval Program, with detailed requirements available on the TACOM website. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 24, 2025, with responses due by April 9, 2025, and requires comprehensive technical documentation demonstrating the ability to produce the specified cylinder assembly.

The pre-solicitation notice does not have a specific set-aside designation and indicates a base period quantity of 63 units, with a maximum potential quantity of 126 units. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 333995 for Fluid Power Cylinder and Actuator Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of 3040 for Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment. The government does not currently possess the Technical Data Package (TDP) or specifications for the cylinder assembly, which suggests potential opportunities for innovative manufacturers. Suppliers must be prepared to meet rigorous qualification standards and understand that source approval does not guarantee future business. The point of contact for this opportunity is the Source Approval Officer, who can be reached via email at usarmy.detroit.tacom.mbx.lcmc-competition-management-office@army.mil for additional information and clarification.
