Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Very large vehicle program. The planned total is about 20,787 vehicles over fiscal years 2028 to 2038, with heavy production, supply-chain and quality demands. Most small businesses could only take part as a supplier or partner.
- Serious: Government wants unlimited data rights. The Army expects unlimited rights to technical and form, fit and function data, so a future contract could require handing over design data that firms usually keep private.
- Worth checking: Not a solicitation; no contract will be awarded. This is a voluntary market survey. A response does not put you on a bid list or guarantee a later contract, and the Government pays nothing for your time.

- Worth checking: Security and battery sourcing questions. The questionnaire asks about a facility security officer, handling Controlled Unclassified Information, U.S.-citizen workforce and batteries free of listed foreign-entity parts before the July 2028 award target.
- Minor: Long response with a page cap. The questionnaire is long and detailed, including cost tables at several volumes, but the whole response is capped at 50 pages.
