About this opportunity
The Department of the Army, through Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), seeks manufacturers for the S-280C/G Vehicle Mounted Shelter under a Total Small Business set-aside, with proposals due November 13, 2026 at 3:30 PM Eastern Time under Amendment 0004. The buy is a single five-year, firm-fixed-price IDIQ award to the best-value offeror through FAR Part 15 tradeoff. The Technical Data Package is export-controlled (Distribution Statement C), so offerors must hold a current DD Form 2345 certification on file with the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office to access it. The NAICS size standard for 332311 is 750 employees.
Place of performance is listed as United States. Per Amendment 0001, deliveries are FOB Destination, with 75 percent to CONUS (planning address Sierra Army Depot, Herlong, California) and 25 percent to OCONUS locations (e.g., Germany, Korea, Japan). Firm-fixed prices include all delivery costs.
The contract covers four shelter variants: shielded and unshielded, with and without mobilizer kit. Manufacturing must strictly follow the Government-owned TDP and ASTM E1975-22. First Article Testing is mandatory with no waivers (Amendment 0003). Test units and FAT are due within 240 calendar days after order under CLIN 0011, and production units are due within 90 to 120 calendar days after order, depending on period. Sustained production must not exceed 20 shelters per month unless the parties agree in writing to higher rates. Contractor personnel handling CUI must complete DoD Mandatory CUI training, and CUI loss must be reported within 72 hours.
The minimum guaranteed value is $100,000.00, and the maximum ceiling is $4,000,000.00 across five one-year ordering periods. The National Stock Numbers are 5411-01-304-3069 (shielded) and 5411-01-092-0892 (unshielded).
Evaluation uses two technical factors of equal weight: EMI Shielding Design under ASTM E1975-22 and Manufacturing Processes. Price is of approximately equal importance to the technical factors, and proposals require a price narrative.
Offerors must acknowledge Amendments 0001 through 0004. Amendment 0004 moved the proposal deadline from October 30, 2026 and extended the first article test report deadline from 120 to 240 calendar days.
