Sources Sought Notice, Motor Engine Starter, NSN: 2920-01-460-0271

The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential vendors for the production of a Motor, Engine Starter (NSN: 2920-01-460-0271, Manufacturer's Part No.: 207-1516). This pre-solicitation notice seeks to gather information regarding vendor capabilities, qualifications, and interest from both small and large businesses to support future acquisition planning for this electrical motor component. Respondents are required to complete a comprehensive questionnaire detailing their manufacturing expertise, production capacity, quality management systems, and pricing capabilities. The government has indicated specific interest in vendors' ability to manufacture the electrical motor component and their commercial availability. Responses must be submitted by December 1, 2025, at 5:00 PM to Contract Specialist Rachel Gervais at rachel.r.gervais.civ@army.mil, and interested parties are advised that this notice does not obligate the government to issue a solicitation or award a contract.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement. The notice requests 67 units of the motor engine starter as the base quantity with an additional 67-unit option quantity associated with an Assault Breacher Vehicle end item. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the sources sought notice, as this is market research to inform future acquisition strategy rather than a formal solicitation. Respondents are asked to indicate their business classifications, including eligibility for 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or small business designations, along with production lead times and monthly production rates. Participation in this market research survey is voluntary, and no compensation will be provided to firms for their participation or information submission.
