Small Business Subcontracting Partner for Cummins

The contract requires the bidder to serve as a small business subcontractor supporting Cummins’ Small Business Participation Commitment under Enclosure #9, providing essential services in manufacturing, supply chain operations, logistics, or administrative support. As a subcontractor, the entity must align its capabilities with Cummins’ obligations to meet federal small business participation goals, ensuring that specialized expertise is effectively integrated into broader defense-related production or operational frameworks. The work will be performed under the auspices of the Department of Defense, managed through the Defense Logistics Agency, and classified under NAICS code 336399 for other transportation equipment manufacturing. The contract is positioned as a subcontract, not a direct award, meaning responsibilities and deliverables will be defined in coordination with Cummins as the prime contractor. Although specific performance locations and point of contact details are not provided, the contractual obligations are tied to meeting Cummins’ committed participation targets in support of defense logistics operations. The posting date indicates this opportunity is anticipated for solicitation in August 2026, suggesting a forward-looking procurement timeline. Interested small businesses must prepare to demonstrate compliance with small business standards and the capacity to support complex, high-volume industrial or supply chain functions essential to defense readiness.
