Medium Dozer Request for Information

The Department of the Army's Product Manager Engineer Maintenance and Support Equipment (PdM EMSE) has issued a Request for Information to gather market intelligence on Medium Dozer capabilities from Original Equipment Manufacturers and other potential sources. This RFI seeks information about commercially available medium dozers that can meet the specifications outlined in ATPD-2371, specifically focusing on T-9 class crawler tractors with diesel engines, air-transportable configurations, and weights up to 54,000 pounds. The Army is particularly interested in understanding current autonomous capabilities of these systems and potential future autonomous features that could be integrated. Interested parties including companies, non-profit organizations, and academic institutes are encouraged to respond with technical information about their medium dozer offerings. All responses must be submitted electronically as PDF documents to David Berosik at david.s.berosik.civ@army.mil by 0500 EST on October 6, 2025.

This pre-solicitation notice indicates no set-aside designation is being used, making it open to all qualified sources. The RFI emphasizes this is purely an information-gathering exercise and explicitly states that no contract will be awarded based on responses, nor will the government provide reimbursement for response preparation costs. The Army seeks dozers capable of operating in extreme environmental conditions from -40°F to +120°F, with specific requirements for air transportability by C-130, C-5, and C-17 aircraft. These medium dozers must support military construction, demolition, and quarry operations while meeting stringent survivability and safety standards including crew protection armor kits and electromagnetic survivability features. The RFI does not specify quantities needed or potential contract values, focusing instead on establishing the marketplace of available solutions that could meet the comprehensive technical requirements detailed in the accompanying purchase description.
