Tire/Wheel Assembly

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure Wheel and Tire Assemblies (NSN 2530-01-631-0906) manufactured by Oshkosh Defense LLC, with a solicitation (SPRDL1-23-R-0175) for a 5-year firm fixed price contract. The procurement covers a minimum quantity of 339 units and a maximum of 8,475 units, with deliveries starting 120 calendar days after the delivery order date. Contractors must submit proposals via email by December 16, 2024, and be prepared to potentially participate in a reverse auction pricing technique, which requires prior registration and online training in the reverse auction system. The contract will utilize an "all-or-none" award basis, meaning the entire contract will be awarded to a single vendor. Interested offerors must strictly adhere to special packaging instructions, which include detailed requirements for preservation, handling, and shipping of the tire and wheel assemblies.

The solicitation does not have a specific small business set-aside designation, and the contract is open to all qualified manufacturers in the Tire Manufacturing (NAICS 326211) category. Deliveries will be FOB Origin, meaning the contractor is responsible for shipping from their facility to a yet-to-be-determined delivery location. The contract includes military preservation and packing requirements, with specific instructions for handling tire sidewalls, beads, and valve assemblies to prevent damage during transportation. Palletization, protective wrapping, and special markings are mandatory, and contractors must follow detailed packaging guidelines. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the quantity range suggests a significant procurement opportunity for the selected vendor, with potential for substantial production over the 5-year contract period.
