Written by GovTribe AI ·

This Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice is for a contract modification to provide continued engineering and logistics support for the Abrams tank system. The Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command is the issuing agency. The proposed contract modification to W56HZV-22-C-0012 with General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) will add 1,144,563 labor hours and $99,813,783 to sustain Abrams System Technical Support (STS) and Sustainment System Technical Support (SSTS) requirements through FY2024. The additional hours are needed due to unanticipated efforts that consumed the original contract's available hours faster than anticipated. The work includes configuration management, engineering, logistics, cybersecurity, and software support for the Abrams tank fleet, including Foreign Military Sales. GDLS is the sole source provider, as the original equipment manufacturer, with the required technical expertise and data rights to efficiently support the Abrams system.
