Diesel Engine

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure new diesel engines (NSN 2815-01-590-7080, Part Number 6400626) used on the M1074/75 Palletized Loading System (PLS). This procurement will result in a firm fixed price contract with one 1-year option, and the government explicitly requires new product only with no technical data available for the procurement. The solicitation is expected to be released to the public on approximately June 3, 2026, with an approximate closing date of April 6, 2026, though contractors should verify the actual closing date once the solicitation is posted on SAM.gov. Notably, the solicitation will include the DLAD reverse auction provision, which permits the use of reverse auction as a pricing technique; if a reverse auction is conducted, contractors must be registered in the reverse auction system and their representatives must complete mandatory online training prior to participation. The pre-solicitation notice posting deadline for questions and clarifications is March 5, 2026.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside contract for any specific business category. The base contract calls for five diesel engines with an option for up to five additional units, and pricing will be evaluated through a potentially competitive reverse auction process following the initial solicitation closing. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The engine must comply with MIL preservation and packing standards (Class A), origin inspection/acceptance requirements, and delivery on an FOB Destination basis. Interested contractors should register at https://dla.procurexinc.com for reverse auction participation and complete required online training to ensure eligibility for the potential auction phase of this procurement.
