It wants brand name or equal items that meet two CECOM purchase descriptions. Responses are due 10/19/2026 by email. It is not a request for quote.
Watch out for
- No technical data package. The Army does not have drawings, so a maker must build an equal item from the purchase description alone.
The Government does not possess the technical data package (TDP) for the parts.
- Market research only. No award will come from this notice; it only helps decide whether to compete or set aside the buy.
The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this SSA
