Request for Information/Market Research Notice/Dog Bone Chain

The Department of the Army, through Army Contracting Command - Detroit, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a Dog Bone Chain (NSN: 2590-01-134-1848), classified under NAICS Code 336992 for Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing. This market research effort is designed to gather information from potential vendors regarding industry capabilities and market availability without committing to an actual solicitation or contract award. Interested firms must submit detailed responses by December 1, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST to Robin L. Bronson at robin.l.bronson.civ@army.mil. Required submission information includes company details such as DUNS number, CAGE Code, business size status, commercial availability of the item, manufacturing expertise, delivery capabilities, and place of performance. Respondents should also provide relevant contract references and product literature to support their submissions. It is important to note that this is strictly a market research effort, and the government will not reimburse submission costs or guarantee future procurement based on responses received.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to respond. The RFI does not specify an award value or budget range, as this is a pre-solicitation market research notice rather than a formal solicitation with guaranteed funding. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the notice. The government welcomes responses from both small and large businesses initially, though the ultimate procurement will be reserved for small business concerns. The RFI provides a response window of approximately 25 days from the posting date, allowing potential vendors sufficient time to compile and submit comprehensive information about their capabilities and product availability.
