About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a sole-source IDIQ long-term contract to LOC Performance Products, LLC (doing business as American Rheinmetall, CAGE 1V513) for procurement of NSN 2530-01-532-1569 Wheel, Solid Rubber Tire road wheel assemblies under FAR 6.302-1 on May 20, 2026.

The road wheel assembly is a critical component of the M88A2 Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lift and Evacuation System (HERCULES) vehicle and must meet specification 12478120, which requires rigorous performance testing at material, component, and vehicle levels, culminating in a 1,000-mile endurance test. LOC Performance Products is the only identified source with demonstrated technical and engineering expertise to maintain the processing controls required to repeatedly produce road wheel assemblies meeting U.S. Army specifications. Market research, including a 30-day Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on April 22, 2025, and internet searches identified three potential suppliers (TGL-SP, Horstman Group, and Hutchinson Inc.) that manufacture road wheels for tracked vehicles, but none manufacture M88A2-specific road wheels, and no additional sources expressed interest.

The contract is a five-year IDIQ on a New Firm-Fixed-Price basis using Army Working Capital Funds, with a minimum guaranteed quantity of 450 units and a maximum five-year quantity of 9,625 units. The DLA Competition Advocate approved the J&A on August 4, 2025. Place of performance is Warren, Michigan.
