About this opportunity
This Sources Sought Notice is seeking potential suppliers for tire/wheel assemblies required by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA) to support the Heavy PLS Transporter vehicle program. The agency estimates a requirement for 8,475 tire/wheel assemblies over the next five years. Sources must complete qualification testing and evaluation to demonstrate their components can meet performance and safety requirements as the specified assembly contains parts validated through vehicle testing. The March 29, 2024 deadline provides time for potential suppliers to qualify before future solicitations.
There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. As technical data is not available and qualification is necessary, only contractors able to validate their solution through agency evaluation will be eligible to compete for future orders under solicitation number SPRDL1-23-R-0175. The PSC code covers tires, tubes and tire/wheel assemblies while the NAICS covers tire manufacturing. As the current components were qualified through the original vehicle testing, the incumbent is unavailable. Approval only permits future bidding opportunities versus guaranteed awards of the estimated 8,475 assemblies required over five years.
