About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum is seeking to procure four external load training blocks—specifically two 15,000-pound blocks, one 12,000-pound block, and one 6,000-pound block—to replace deteriorating existing equipment and enhance aircrew training on external load procedures for L2A2 operations. These concrete and rebar-constructed training blocks must meet specifications outlined in the Natick Center Technical Data Package 11-1-7752, Addendum 01, and must be color-coded using integral concrete dyes to adequately simulate common externally loaded cargo such as the M1167, M1152A1 with Mobility Trailer, M777A1, and M1097 with High Mobility Trailer. The procurement is intended to support the 101st Division (Airborne, Assault) training mission and prepare for an anticipated increase in ARSTRUC lift assets. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in this notice, vendors must demonstrate capability to construct training blocks that maintain precise lifting provision dimension locations per the Technical Data Package while proportionally scaling down dimensions. Prospective contractors must submit proposals by December 24, 2025, with the solicitation having been posted on December 18, 2025.
This is a Total Small Business set-aside contract, restricting competition to small business concerns, which significantly narrows the potential bidder pool. No incumbent contractor or current contractor information is mentioned in the solicitation notice. The specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in this notice. The contract encompasses the delivery of four training blocks with precise construction specifications and color-coding requirements per the technical data package. The place of performance is Fort Campbell, Kentucky 42223, with the contract classified under NAICS 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC 3940 (Blocks, Tackle, Rigging, and Slings).
