The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Land at Aberdeen) wants to buy military diesel engines and a diesel generator set that support the 800kW, 60 Hz Deployable Power Generation and Distribution System (DPGDS), under a long-term indefinite-delivery contract. The contract is a five-year base period with no options, and the items are shipped to or supported from Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. Proposals are due November 9, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern, and this is not a set-aside.
Watch out for
- Main solicitation document not readable. The solicitation itself (pricing, evaluation, instructions, clauses) was not available, so key bid terms are unknown; get the full RFP before deciding.
- Heavy military engine manufacturing and technical data. Items are built to a government Technical Drawing Package with configuration control, CARC coating, IUID marking and military packaging, which is demanding for a small business that is not already a defense engine supplier.
- Possible security requirements (DD 254). A DD 254 security classification specification may apply, which can require a facility clearance or security procedures.
In the event of a discrepancy between the signed DD 254 Contract Security Classification Specification,
- Ongoing obsolescence management duties. The contractor must run a DMSMS (obsolete parts) program and send quarterly status reports at no additional cost to the Government.
This CDRL Data Deliverable is Not Separately Priced (NSP) and shall be provided at no additional cost
- Quantity unclear. The notice says two items will be bought, but the attached packaging table lists six NSNs, so actual quantities and ordering could be larger.
- Non-commercial items needing a technical data package. The title says these are non-commercial NSNs, so bidders need access to the drawing package and approved sources, which may limit who can bid.
