The National Advanced Mobility Consortium, Inc.

The National Advanced Mobility Consortium, Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, operates as a prime contractor under an Other Transaction (OT) IDIQ agreement with the U.S. Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, delivering research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) services for advanced defense mobility technologies, unmanned ground vehicles, autonomous systems, and tactical transportation platforms. All thirty-six awards in the source footprint are prime contracts and Other Transaction orders; the consortium holds no sub-award positions and competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations.

NAMC's customer concentration is monolithic: TACOM Life Cycle Management Command represents 28 awards with $2.08 billion in combined potential value, anchoring 92% of the award count and 92% of total potential value across the portfolio. The Department of the Army (as a separate customer entity) accounts for four awards worth $120.6 million, primarily for flagship programs like PROJECT PROTEUS—XM30 ($99.6 million, awarded March 2025 for advanced unmanned vehicle transport development) and the Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET) Increment II / Ground Optionally Autonomous Transport (GOAT) family ($8.4 million and $11.5 million respectively, awarded September 2024). The Marine Corps contributed one award, the SBIR Phase III condition-based maintenance plus initiative valued at $53.3 million (awarded January 2026, completion January 2029). PEO Ground Combat Systems and ACC Warren hold two and one award respectively, with lower dollar magnitudes. The concentration behind TACOM is decision-relevant: the recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months totals $59.3 million across seventeen awards, and TACOM's leverage over NAMC's pipeline is substantial.

NAMC's vehicle position centers entirely on a single multi-billion-dollar OT IDIQ with TACOM established September 1, 2023 (ceiling $2.5 billion, designated W56HZV239D001). Thirty-four task orders under this IDIQ carry $253.4 million in combined potential value. Recent task order awards illustrate the breadth of work: a $13.1 million March 2026 order for maturation and fielding of advanced survivability systems; twin autonomous systems orders placed August 2025 for Scout AI ($6.1 million) and Overland AI ($4.9 million); and a $12.6 million January 2025 order for Human Machine Integrated Formations (HMIF) Network Prototype development (not fully funded at award, with initial funding of $4.8 million). Additional scope includes armor solutions, camera sensor systems, expedited analysis and automation for ammunition support activities, and virtual proving grounds capability development. The consortium also holds a $1.85 million March 2026 OT order from PEO Ground Combat Systems under NAMC's Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Vehicle Mode framework for Phase III prototype work in Chantilly, Virginia.

Activity has grown sharply. The source records one award in 2017, one in 2023, nine in 2024, eighteen in 2025, and seven awards through March 2026—a clear acceleration since the TACOM IDIQ base award in September 2023. Combined potential value stands at $2.25 billion; combined dollars obligated total $967.3 million (43% of potential value), indicating the consortium is drawing down substantial funding against its ceiling. The recompete cliff of seventeen awards worth $59.3 million completing within twenty-four months creates near-term pipeline exposure for NAMC and recompete opportunity for competitors. Work is performed across Ann Arbor, Michigan (NAMC headquarters, the site of most awards), with task order performance locations spanning Huntsville, Alabama; Hanahan, South Carolina; Hudson, Massachusetts; Sterling Heights, Michigan; Solon, Ohio; Fairfax, Virginia; Chantilly, Virginia; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Mooresville, North Carolina; and Belcamp, Maryland—reflecting geographically dispersed component development and member coordination across the consortium network.

NAMC's awards fall within PSC category National Defense R&D Services / Defense-Related Activities / Experimental Development (32 awards), with two awards in Basic Research and one each in other R&D categories. The consortium model is explicit in the award descriptions: NAMC coordinates member organizations' efforts to develop innovative defense mobility solutions, positioning itself as a platform for collaborative, non-traditional acquisition of prototype and RDT&E work. Prior task order scope encompasses unmanned ground vehicle development, autonomous system teaming, sensor solutions, tactical transportation systems, armor manufacturing processes, and logistics automation. The OT contracting mechanism provides flexibility for prototype maturation and adaptive development cycles—critical for the Army's mobility modernization portfolio.
