Wheel Assembly, Pneumatic Tire

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking qualified sources for Wheel Assembly, Pneumatic Tire components used in 14-20-ton military vehicles including models M915A2, M916A1, and M1062. The agency is conducting a Sources Sought Notice (SPRDL1-25-R-0012) to identify potential suppliers for two specific National Stock Number (NSN) tire wheel assemblies. This is a qualification testing and evaluation process, which means interested manufacturers must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package to become an approved source. Qualification does not guarantee future business, but provides an opportunity to compete on subsequent solicitations. The response deadline is January 22, 2025, and interested parties must meet specific technical and packaging requirements outlined in the agency's Source Approval Program guidelines.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualified manufacturers in the Tire Manufacturing (NAICS 326211) and Vehicular Components (PSC 2530) categories. The procurement covers two wheel assembly variations with minimum 5-year quantities ranging from 44 to 87 assemblies and maximum quantities between 1,088 to 2,175 assemblies annually. While precise award values are not specified, the multi-year contract suggests significant potential volume for the selected suppliers. The wheel assemblies are complex components requiring precise specifications, including specific packaging instructions, safety protocols for tire inflation, and detailed preservation methods. Potential suppliers must demonstrate capability to meet military-grade packaging and performance standards, including use of OSHA-approved safety procedures and specialized packaging techniques.
