Motor, Ball Screw AC

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking qualified sources for the Motor, Ball Screw AC (NSN: 6105-01-136-0964, Part No. J-16116-20), an alternating current motor used to actuate the ball screw in the outrigger assembly on the M860A1 Patriot Trailer. This is a Sources Sought Notice rather than a formal solicitation, meaning interested contractors should not submit bids or proposals at this time but instead focus on qualification for future opportunities. Qualification testing and evaluation are mandatory requirements to become an approved source, and contractors must follow the Source Approval Request (SAR) Package Requirements established by TACOM. The government does not currently possess a Technical Data Package (TDP) for this product, which may impact the design and qualification process. The due date for sources sought responses is April 2, 2026, and interested parties should direct inquiries to the Source Approval Officer at usarmy.detroit.tacom.mbx.mso-ombudsman@army.mil.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents an opportunity for approved sources to compete on future solicitations, though qualification does not guarantee contract awards. The government anticipates requirements of 65 units for the base period and 130 units for the option period, indicating a multi-year procurement with moderate volume demand. No specific budget or award value information has been disclosed in this sources sought notice. Contractors interested in pursuing this opportunity should review the Source Approval Program guidelines and SAR Package Requirements available through TACOM's ombudsman office. This notice is classified under NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing) and PSC 6105 (Motors, Electrical), reflecting the nature of the equipment being procured for military logistics support.
