Contractors must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) Package by the January 23, 2026 deadline to become an approved source. It is critical to note that achieving source approval does not guarantee contract award; it only provides the opportunity to compete on future solicitations. The evaluation will be conducted by the Source Approval Program at TACOM (Tank-automotive and Armaments Command), and interested parties should contact the Source Approval Officer at usarmy.detroit.tacom.mbx.mso-ombudsman@army.mil for additional guidance.
