Vehicular seat - NSN: 2540200082987

The Department of the Army is procuring a vehicular seat (NSN 2540-20-008-2987, P/N 4122990) under a firm-fixed-price contract with a base quantity of two units and no option quantities. This pre-solicitation notice indicates that the full solicitation will be released within two to four weeks, with a current deadline of January 5, 2026 for interested parties to monitor for the formal request for proposals. To access the required technical data package upon solicitation release, all potential contractors must be certified under the United States/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP), as the technical documentation is export controlled and marked Distribution D. Additionally, all contractors providing goods and services to the Department of Defense must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to proposal submission. Interested parties are cautioned to regularly check the government's electronic systems for any amendments to the solicitation, as failure to respond to amendments by the stated deadline may result in proposal rejection.

This procurement is designated as a 100 percent small business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities meeting the relevant size standards for the motor vehicle seating and interior trim manufacturing industry (NAICS 33636). No incumbent contractor or award value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, though the relatively modest base quantity of two units suggests this may be a specialized or replacement component requirement. The contract will be executed on an electronic basis, and the government has expressly stated it will not maintain a traditional mailing list, placing the responsibility on interested contractors to actively seek and review all solicitation documents and amendments. Prospective bidders should prepare for technical data package review upon solicitation release and ensure SAM registration is current to avoid disqualification during the evaluation process.
