Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land Warren has issued a Presolicitation Notice to identify qualified sources for a Clutch, Fan, Engine (NSN: 2930-01-668-5049, Part No: 98E0012S/4358272) for the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) system. This notice is not an open solicitation; rather, it informs potential vendors that qualification testing and evaluation are required to become an approved source. Responses related to source approval are due by February 23, 2026.

Scope of Requirement

This requirement is for a fan clutch designed for the engine of the M1070 truck and M1000 trailer combination, which comprises the HET system used to transport heavy military equipment. The clutch regulates engine cooling by adjusting fan speed based on temperature, optimizing performance, saving fuel, and minimizing wear. The anticipated quantities range from a minimum of 60 EA up to 1483 EA.

Source Approval Process

A critical aspect of this opportunity is that the Government does not possess the rights to the Technical Data Package (TDP) or specifications. Therefore, interested parties must undergo a Source Approval Program (SAR), which involves qualification testing and evaluation. Becoming an approved source provides the opportunity to compete on future solicitations but does not guarantee business.
