BACKPLANE ASSEMBLY

The Department of Defense, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land, is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (SPRDL1‑26‑R‑0072) to identify potential suppliers for a Backplane Assembly (NSN 5998‑01‑355‑8142, Part No. 12347083) required for the Abrams Fighting Vehicle (AFVS) engine. The government seeks 65 units with an additional option for 65 more. Because the Government does not possess suitable drawings and holds only limited data rights, the Technical Data Package (TDP) is fully defined but not fully releasable. Interested contractors must be approved under the TACOM Source Approval Program, which includes vehicle‑level qualification testing at the contractor’s expense, and must meet all program requirements. Responses are voluntary market‑research submissions due by 16:30 hours on 30 March 2026. The effort is not a solicitation for proposals, and the Government assumes no cost for responding. Point of contact is Janeca Dent (jane ca.dent@dla.mil, 385‑591‑0897). Performance will be in Anniston, Alabama (ZIP 36201). Contractors should review the Source Approval Program details at https://tacom.army.mil/ (select “Ombudsman”) before submitting capability information.
