The formal solicitation will be posted to DIBBS (https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/) around January 22, 2026, with responses due by January 30, 2026. Interested vendors should note that certain NSNs may require additional permissions to access technical data through DLA cFolders, and those unable to access such data must submit a request to jcpvalidation@dla.mil.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to firms meeting small business size standards under NAICS code 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing). The government requires delivery of 371 units with a required delivery timeline of 1,040 days from contract award, with FOB Origin and Inspection and Acceptance at Origin terms.
