Market Research Survey Common Tactical Truck

The Department of the Army is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the production of the Common Tactical Truck (CTT) Family of Vehicles, a comprehensive replacement program for legacy heavy tactical wheeled vehicles. The CTT program aims to develop six vehicle variants: Line Haul Tractor, Off-Road Tractor, Load Handling System, Cargo Variant, Tanker Variant, and Wrecker Variant. Potential contractors will be evaluated on their administrative capabilities, engineering specifications, manufacturing capacity, quality systems, test and evaluation experience, logistics support, and cybersecurity compliance. The market research survey contains 62 detailed questions designed to assess vendor capabilities and readiness. Key dates for this opportunity include a response deadline of March 20, 2025, with a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) planned for September 2025, an Industry Day in October 2025, and a final RFP release targeted for the third quarter of FY2026.

There is no specific set-aside designation for this contract opportunity, and the procurement is open to qualified manufacturers in the Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing sector (NAICS 336120). The CTT vehicles must meet or exceed requirements of current legacy vehicles like the Palletized Load System (PLS), Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT), and M915 Line Haul Tractor while incorporating advanced technologies in driver safety, cybersecurity, autonomy, fuel economy, and off-road mobility. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the program represents a significant military vehicle modernization effort with potential for substantial contract value. The government emphasizes that this market research is for informational planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to procurement. Interested vendors must submit their responses electronically and may include proprietary information with appropriate markings.
