Tubing Assembly, Non, NSN:4710015752011, 4710015749058, 4710015749065

The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for a Tubing Assembly for the M1 Abrams Tank, specifically seeking production capabilities for three part numbers (12491142, 12491162, and 12491164). The market research survey aims to gather information about potential suppliers' manufacturing experience, production lead times, monthly production rates, and quality management systems. Interested vendors must submit responses by May 12, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST via email to the contract specialist, with a Technical Data Package available only to DoD and U.S. DoD contractors holding a current DD 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement certification. The survey will help ACC-DTA plan its acquisition strategy and assess vendor capabilities. Respondents must provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes and commercial availability of the requested tubing assemblies.

The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with particular encouragement for 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses to participate. The initial procurement involves relatively small quantities: 21 units of one part number, 9 units of another, and 18 units of the third part number. First article testing will be required for the selected vendor, and the government maintains no obligation to issue a solicitation or award a contract based on this market research survey. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 331210 for Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing from Purchased Steel, and the Product Service Code (PSC) 4710 for Pipe, Tube, and Rigid Tubing. While no specific award value is mentioned, the survey indicates this is a preliminary market research step to understand potential supplier capabilities for a future military equipment procurement.
