The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure 915 motor vehicle towbars through a total small business set-aside contract. The solicitation, which will be issued on March 3, 2025, and close on April 2, 2025, requires specific manufacturing qualifications based on multiple reference drawings with precise technical specifications. Potential contractors must have an approved US/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification and complete export-controlled technical data training due to potential International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) requirements. Evaluation of offers will be based on a combination of price, delivery, and performance, with pricing being a significant factor. Interested suppliers must submit proposals through DIBBS (Defense Internet Bid Board System) or via email to the contract specialist, Jacob McGee, by the February 27, 2025 due date.

The contract is designated as a 100% total small business set-aside with a required delivery timeline of 300 days from award. The procurement involves 915 units of towbars with a potential 50% option for additional quantities. Manufacturers must meet specific technical data requirements and have authorization to access export-controlled information, with the government emphasizing that this item is manufactured exclusively for military use and not considered a commercial product. The National Stock Number (NSN) for the item is 2540-01-434-8595, and the shipping destination will use the DODAAC code W62G2T.

While pricing may be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final award decision will be based on a combination of price, delivery, and performance.

This item has technical data some or all of which is subject to export-control of either the International Traffic in Arms regulations (ITAR) or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and cannot be exported without prior authorization from either the Department of State or the Department of Commerce. Export includes disclosure of technical data to foreign persons and nationals whether located in the United States or abroad. This requirement applies equally to foreign national employees and U.S. companies and their foreign subsidiaries. DFARS 252.225-7048 is applicable to this data.

To be eligible for award, offerors and any sources of supply proposed for use are required to have an approved JCP certification and have been approved by the DLA controlling authority to access export-controlled data managed by DLA. DLA will not delay award in order for an offeror or its supplier to apply for and receive approval by the DLA controlling authority to access the export-controlled data.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) limits distribution of export-control technical data to DLA contractors that have an approved US/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification, have completed the Introduction to Proper Handling of DOD Export-Controlled Technical Data Training and the DLA Export-Controlled Technical Data Questionnaire (both are available at the web address given below), and have been approved by the DLA controlling authority to access the export-controlled data. Instructions for obtaining access to the export-controlled data can be found at:
