The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking qualified contractors to supply Wheel and Tire Assembly (NSN 2530-01-477-1660, military CAGE 19207 part number 12500808) under a five-year firm fixed-price requirements contract. The procurement will be competitive and will utilize a reverse auction pricing technique, requiring interested contractors to register in the reverse auction system and complete mandatory online training prior to participation. Key contract requirements include delivery with military-style B packaging with special handling instructions, FOB Origin delivery terms, and compliance with detailed packaging and transportation guidelines outlined in the special packaging instructions provided. The solicitation is scheduled to post on or about January 7, 2026, with offers due on or about February 6, 2026, and contractors are encouraged to monitor beta.sam.gov regularly for any updates or clarifications to the solicitation documents. While specific evaluation criteria beyond price have not been detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the reverse auction mechanism indicates that pricing will be a primary evaluation factor.

This procurement is not designated as a small business set-aside and appears to be open to all qualified contractors. The estimated annual quantity is 11,250 units, suggesting a substantial contract value over the five-year performance period, though specific budget information has not been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. No incumbent contractor information has been provided at this stage. The contract terms specify firm fixed-price pricing, FOB Origin, and origin inspection and acceptance. Interested parties should note the special packaging requirements for military applications, including restrictions on air transport under certain conditions and mandatory safety protocols for tire inflation and handling, particularly for split rim assemblies. Contractors with experience in military tire and wheel assembly production and familiarity with reverse auction bidding processes are encouraged to prepare for the upcoming solicitation.
