Global Tires Program 2. 0

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime has issued a Special Notice regarding the Global Tires Program 2.0 (GTP 2.0), a Performance Based Logistics (PBL) initiative to solicit industry feedback through a Request for Information (RFI). This is not a final solicitation but rather an information-gathering phase to assess vendor capabilities and industry interest in supporting the program. The RFI was originally posted on August 25, 2025, with an initial response deadline, and was subsequently updated on January 8, 2026, to gauge industry sentiment regarding the potential benefit of an industry day event. The Special Notice emphasizes that interested vendors should thoroughly review the three provided attachments: the RFI information document, the Performance Work Statement, and the List of National Stock Numbers and estimated annual demand quantities. DLA Weapons Support (Columbus) is particularly interested in understanding whether an industry day would be valuable for potential vendors to obtain clarification on the upcoming acquisition.

The GTP 2.0 program seeks an integrator contractor to manage the complete tire supply chain for the Department of Defense, including demand forecasting, procurement, warehousing, order fulfillment, and logistics management across Continental United States, Outside Continental United States, and Foreign Military Sales locations. The contracting vehicle under consideration is the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS+) multi-agency program, and the future contract is anticipated to be a firm fixed price requirements contract with a 10-year ordering period comprising a 4-month implementation phase, a 5-year base period, and two 2-year option periods. Interested contractors must notify Contracting Officer Charles E. Mielke II by January 16, 2026, regarding their perspective on whether an industry day would be beneficial, and should be aware that the selected GTP 2.0 contractor will be required to make an upfront investment of approximately $50 million for tire purchases. Eligible contractors must be classified under NAICS code 493190 (Other Warehousing and Storage) with a size standard of $36.5 million, and serious vendors should anticipate significant resource commitments to participate in this substantial federal acquisition opportunity.
