ISV GM defense

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify manufacturing sources for a comprehensive catalog of vehicle components and assemblies, primarily related to GM Defense LLC and General Motors LLC products. The agency is seeking qualified manufacturers capable of producing numerous National Stock Number (NSN) items spanning multiple vehicle system categories including dashboard panels, brackets, springs, windows, shock absorbers, steering components, electrical systems, engine parts, and various mechanical assemblies. This pre-solicitation notice is intended to inform the development of an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) solicitation strategy that will align with both warfighter requirements and contractor capabilities. DLA is evaluating potential sources based on manufacturing capacity, commercial item status, pricing structures, delivery capabilities, cost and pricing data competency, business classifications, and historical commercial sales performance. Interested parties must submit manufacturing capability information, facility locations, and points of contact to Deonna Coleman at Deonna.Coleman@dla.mil or 614-852-6446 by January 30, 2026, which represents the response deadline for this five-business-day market research window.

No set-aside designations are being used for this acquisition. The pre-solicitation indicates that GM Defense LLC and General Motors LLC are likely current or intended sources, as the spreadsheet focuses heavily on their vehicle components and assemblies. While specific award values are not disclosed in this market research phase, the anticipated contract structure is a three-year base Indefinite Quantity Contract with optional extension years, suggesting a substantial long-term procurement relationship. The spreadsheet references estimated annual demand quantities across multiple NAICS codes (primarily 336 for transportation equipment, 332 for fabricated metal products, and 334 for electrical equipment), though specific volume figures are not highlighted in the pre-solicitation notice. This market research effort precedes formal solicitation and is designed to gather comprehensive supplier data that will inform DLA's ultimate procurement strategy and contract terms.
