Engine, Diesel

The U.S. Department of Defense, through DLA Land Warren in Warren, Michigan, is seeking information from potential suppliers for the diesel engine designated as NSN 2815-01-581-0635 and part number (19207) 57K7250, intended for use on the M915A5 LINEHAULER truck. This engine is critical for transporting heavy container systems from docks to land-based locations. The government is requesting sources for both a base period quantity of 16 units and an optional additional quantity of 16 units, though no formal solicitation is currently active. Importantly, the government lacks detailed technical data and test specifications for this NSN, making it essential for respondents to provide comprehensive technical and performance validation as part of the source approval process. This sources sought notice is not a competitive bid or proposal invitation but a preliminary step to identify qualified vendors capable of meeting military standards. To be considered, suppliers must complete a Source Approval Request package and undergo qualification testing and evaluation to become an approved source; however, source approval does not ensure any future contract awards—it only enables eligibility to compete in subsequent solicitations. Interested parties must submit responses by July 24, 2026, and are directed to the TACOM Ombudsman website for required documentation and procedures. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Stacy M. Johnson, reachable via email or phone provided in the data.
