Diesel Engine

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources for a diesel engine (NSN 2815-01-590-7080, Part No. 6400626) that serves as a critical power generation component for the M1074/M1075 Palletized Loading System (PLS) vehicle. This pre-solicitation notice is not an open solicitation but rather a sources sought notice designed to identify potential qualified suppliers who can meet the government's requirements. Interested contractors must understand that qualification testing and evaluation are mandatory to become an approved source, and approval does not guarantee future contract awards but only provides the opportunity to compete on subsequent solicitations. The government does not currently possess a Technical Data Package (TDP) for this engine, which may influence how potential suppliers approach the qualification process. Contractors should direct inquiries and submit their Source Approval Request (SAR) packages to the Source Approval Officer at usarmy.detroit.tacom.mbx.mso-ombudsman@army.mil, with the notice posted on December 2, 2025, and a response deadline of December 16, 2025.

This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside contract, meaning it is open to all eligible suppliers in the commercial sector. The procurement involves a base period quantity of five units with an option for up to five additional units, indicating a potential total of ten diesel engines across contract phases. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The engines will be classified under NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 2815 (Diesel Engines and Components), reflecting the technical nature of the procurement. Prospective vendors should access the Source Approval Program information and SAR package requirements through the TACOM ombudsman office website to understand the qualification pathway and prepare their submissions for the opportunity to become an approved source for this critical military vehicle component.
