Wheel Assembly, Pneumatic

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting a 5-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for wheel assemblies with specific part numbers and National Stock Numbers. The solicitation covers three distinct wheel assembly types with varying quantity requirements, ranging from minimum quantities of 12 to 216 units and maximum quantities of 238 to 5,400 units over the contract period. This procurement requires military packaging (Package B), with inspection and acceptance occurring at the origin and delivery terms set as FOB Destination. The contract includes a potential reverse auction pricing mechanism, which requires contractors to be registered in the DLA ProcureX system and complete online training prior to participation. The solicitation will be evaluated based on the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer considering the total maximum quantity across all contract years, with proposals due by April 3, 2025 at 11:59 PM Eastern.

The solicitation does not have a specific small business set-aside, and market research indicates limited small business participation, with only Wheel Systems International identified as a potential small business provider. The incumbent contractor for most of these wheel assemblies has been Pomp's Tire Service, a large business, with one previous contract awarded to B&S Transport in FY2010. The total contract value is expected to exceed $750,000, which will likely result in a requirement for a small business subcontracting plan. The wheel assemblies support multiple weapons systems, including variants of 14-20-ton vehicles and lowbed semitrailers, and are categorized under NAICS 326211 (Tire Manufacturing) and PSC 2530 (Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel, and Track Components). The consolidated contract aims to reduce administrative costs, shorten lead times, and streamline contract management across these three previously separate procurement lines.
