Engine, Diesel

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for diesel engines through Sources Sought Notice SPRDL1-25-R-0240, specifically seeking Cummins Central Power diesel engines (Part Number 0100-4046-FRS) with NSN 2518-01-559-2661. These engines are critical components for Forward Repair System (FRS) generators, powering both the generator and hydraulic crane systems. The government does not possess technical data package rights or specifications for this equipment, necessitating this market research to identify potential alternative sources beyond the current manufacturer. Interested contractors must meet Source Approval Program requirements, including qualification testing at their own expense, with oversight from the TACOM Life Cycle Management Command Competition Management Office. The response deadline for this sources sought notice is August 15, 2025, and submissions are voluntary with no government financial responsibility for response costs.

This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and identifies Cummins Central Power, LLC (CAGE code 4TNW9) as the current manufacturer and apparent incumbent contractor. The government requires a minimum of 5 engines with a maximum quantity of 182 units, indicating a potentially substantial procurement value depending on final requirements. The engines fall under NAICS code 333618 for Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 2815 for Diesel Engines and Components. This sources sought notice represents preliminary market research rather than a formal solicitation, with the government emphasizing that no request for proposals is being issued at this time. The timeline allows contractors approximately two weeks from the July 30, 2025 posting date to respond with capability information and express interest in the Source Approval Program process.
