AI Contract Overview

The United States Army Contracting Command at Warren plans to issue a Request For Prototype Proposals (RFPP) under the Detroit Arsenal Automotive Other Transaction Agreement for the Advanced Combat Engine Manufacturing Technology Development project. This initiative focuses on engineering services to create prototype designs, processes, and components aimed at improving manufacturability and performance of the Advanced Combat Engine, targeting a high-efficiency, low heat rejection 1000 horsepower multi-cylinder engine. The engine development addresses the need for advanced combat vehicle powerplants capable of delivering high output (750 to 1500 hp) to support heavier armor, greater electrical demands, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced mobility while reducing cooling system requirements and physical footprint. This effort continues from a prior agreement with Cummins, Inc. under the MCE program but does not currently include plans for production using the OTA authority. The announcement serves to inform members of the Detroit Automotive Technologies Consortium and the wider industry of the upcoming RFPP release to Cummins, Inc. As a special notice, no prototype project will be awarded as a direct result of this announcement. The project is managed by the Army's TACOM office located at Detroit Arsenal, with the key point of contact being an agreement specialist, underscoring collaboration with automotive and manufacturing technology partners to achieve these modernization goals.

Full Description

Advanced Combat Engine Manufacturing Technology Development Special Notice The United States Army Contracting Command - Warren (ACC-WRN) intends to issue a Request For Prototype Proposals (RFPP) for the Advanced Combat Engine (ACE) Manufacturing Technology (MANTECH) Development project under the Detroit Arsenal Automotive (DA2) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) (W56HZV-16-9-0001). The DA2 OTA was awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. - 2371b, Section 815 of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, P.L 114- 92. The Government is seeking engineering services to develop prototype designs, processes, and components that will demonstrate potential manufacturability upgrades to the ACE toward program targets. The inclusion of the upgraded technologies into the prototype ACE MANTECH will aid in the development of a novel high efficiency low heat rejection 1000hp multi-cylinder engine (MCE) to meet the mobility needs for combat vehicles. High power engines (750 - 1500 hp) are required to offset increasing combat vehicle weights (armor), increased electrical generation needs (onboard and exportable power), improved fuel economy (cost & range), enhanced mobility (survivability), and reduced cooling system burden (size, heat rejection) in a smaller package (reduce under armor volumes). The ACE MANTECH development under this agreement is a follow-on effort for Cummins, Inc., to the existing MCE agreement (GVS OTA - NAMC Agreement #69-201619). For the scope of this part of the project, there are no follow-on plans to go to production using this OT authority. NOTE: This Special Notice is for informational purposes only. A prototype project will not be awarded in response to this announcement. The purpose of this announcement is to provide members of the Detroit Automotive Technologies Consortium (DATC), and industry in general, advanced notification of the Government's intent to release a RFPP to DATC member, Cummins, Inc.
