Overview of Fielding Agile Supplies, Support and Training Enhancing Readiness (FASSTER)

The Department of the Army anticipates soliciting a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (MA IDIQ) contract called Fielding Agile Supplies, Support and Training Enhancing Readiness (FASSTER) under Full and Open Competition, with formal RFP issuance in Q4 FY26 and target award in Q3 FY27. FASSTER will succeed the existing FASST contract while expanding scope to include Class II items and additional program offices.

The requirement covers hardware needed for transitioning vehicle systems from development to full-rate production and fielding operations across multiple Army platforms, including Abrams tanks, Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicles (AMPV), Bradley Fighting Vehicles, XM30 vehicles, M88A2 Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lift and Evacuation System (HERCULES), Self-Propelled Howitzer Systems (SPHS), and Stryker vehicles. Deliverables include hardware production from Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), Material Work Orders (MWOs), and pre-fielding failures; electronic and electrical components; training and test equipment; parachute equipment; installation kits; maintenance kits; mounting equipment; and shop equipment. Class II items span optics, parachutes, containers, petroleum and water systems, weapons, and chemical/biological defense equipment.

All awardees will receive a minimum guaranteed quantity, with the overall IDIQ having a maximum ceiling. Following award, FASSTER awardees will compete for individual delivery orders under Fair Opportunity procedures. A virtual industry day is scheduled for Q3 FY26. Questions must be submitted by July 3, 2026, to the Army Contracting Command–Detroit Arsenal contract specialists; potential offerors should monitor SAM.gov for updates and the formal solicitation.
