The contract will be solicited as an unrestricted acquisition using full and open competition, with the solicitation becoming available on August 5, 2024, and proposals due by January 6, 2025.

The procurement falls under NAICS code 336320 for Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing, with a business size standard of 1,000 employees. There are no specific set-aside designations for this contract, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors.

Inspection and acceptance will occur at the point of origin, and the government seeks a contract that provides long-term production planning for direct stock support. The solicitation documents will be available on the Defense Logistics Agency's internet portal (http://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/), and interested vendors should carefully review the Procurement Item Description for specific packaging, marking, and technical requirements associated with the electric engine starter.
