About this program
The Bradley Fighting Vehicle System (BFVS) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the Department of Defense under Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The program encompasses multiple Bradley variants including the M2A2/A3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle, M3A2/A3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle, and specialized variants such as the M7 Bradley Fire Support Team (BFIST) with Fire Support Sensor System (FS3) integration. This tracked combat vehicle system requires ongoing acquisition support for sustainment, upgrades, and modernization of the fleet.
Contract awards associated with the BFVS program range from small purchase orders for spare parts and wiring harnesses (typically $5,000-$50,000) to major definitive contracts for vehicle reset/conversion efforts and systems technical support exceeding $100 million. Primary contractors include BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P., which provides systems technical support and vehicle modernization services, and various tier-one suppliers such as DRS Network & Imaging Systems LLC, Cummins Inc., and Canadian Commercial Corporation. The U.S. Army Materiel Command, particularly through TACOM Life Cycle Management Command and Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal, serves as the primary contracting activity. While some contracts utilize small business set-asides for components and subsystems, major vehicle work is typically unrestricted. Key places of performance include BAE facilities, Red River Army Depot, and various supplier locations throughout the United States. Contract periods generally range from 90 days for simple parts delivery to 5 years for complex system support services.
