The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Land Warren) plans a firm-fixed-price contract for 1,782 Common Ethernet Switch Containers used on the Abrams M1A2 SEPv3 tank. It is a presolicitation, and the buy is limited to offerors supplying the product of one approved source, General Dynamics Land Systems. The full solicitation was expected on SAM.gov around 10/01/2026.
Watch out for
- Sole-source to one approved manufacturer. Only offers providing the General Dynamics Land Systems product are contemplated, so a small business that is not a GDLS reseller or distributor of that part likely cannot compete.
Technical Data is not available for this procurement as this item is sole
- Export-controlled data and JCP certification. You need a JCP certification (mailed paper form, up to about a week) plus a separate access request on SAM.gov before you can see the technical data.
Mail the Form 2345, along with the required documentation
- Key documents are access-controlled. The solicitation section C and a zip file were not available to read without requesting access on SAM.gov, so requirements are not fully visible.
