This contract facilitates the participation of small businesses in the secondary supply chain to support Cummins’ fulfillment of its prime contract under a formal subcontracting plan, specifically targeting tier two and beyond suppliers of components, materials, or services. The initiative is managed under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and aims to expand opportunities for small businesses to contribute to critical defense-related logistics and manufacturing efforts.
