The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) has issued a Sources Sought Notice seeking market research information regarding the production of Troop Seat Toolkits (NSN 2540-01-497-3374) designed for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) 5-ton variants. This notice is intended to gather information on the capabilities, qualifications, and interest of potential vendors—both small and large businesses—to inform the government's acquisition strategy for a potential future solicitation. Interested vendors must address specific technical and capability requirements, including manufacturing expertise with military seating components, current unit pricing with volume discount structures, production timelines and delivery lead times, quality management certifications, integration capabilities with FMTV platforms, and compliance with military specifications and standards. Respondents must complete a detailed questionnaire covering vendor profile information, business classification, requirement-specific capabilities, past government contract experience, manufacturing processes, quality assurance measures, and subcontracting compliance. The response deadline is 5:00 PM EST on February 10, 2026, with submissions directed to Meika Cole, Contract Specialist, at meika.j.cole.civ@army.mil. It is important to note that this is market research only; the government is not obligated to issue a solicitation or award a contract, and no compensation will be provided for participation.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. The estimated requirement is three units across a potential five-year contract period. No incumbent contractors or current award values are identified in this sources sought notice. Qualified vendors seeking access to the Technical Data Package (TDP) must possess a current DD 2345 Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement certification on file with the Defense Logistics Information Service and maintain active Joint Certification Program registration, as the distribution of technical data is limited to the Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors. Proprietary and confidential information submitted in response must be clearly marked with appropriate legends and release statements to protect sensitive business information.
