Quick Summary
The Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a Sources Sought / Market Research survey to identify potential sources for the production of ADR Vehicular Equipment Kits. This initiative aims to gather industry capabilities to inform future acquisition strategies for a five-year requirement. Responses are due by 5:00 PM EST, June 12, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for ADR Vehicular Equipment Kits, which are standardized, pre-packaged safety and emergency response kits legally mandated by the ADR treaty for vehicles transporting hazardous materials. These kits provide essential tools for drivers to manage initial accident or spill phases, ensuring personal safety, warning others, and taking preventative actions. The kits are required for integration into various M-series military vehicles, including M916A2, M978, M107, M1075A1, M977A4, M1082, M1088, and others. Specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and estimated annual quantities for a five-year period are detailed in Attachment 0001.
Technical Data Package (TDP) & Source Controlled Parts
A Technical Data Package (TDP) is available with Distribution Statement "D," restricting access to Department of War (DoW) and U.S. DoW contractors. Access requires a current DD Form 2345 (Military Critical Technical Data Agreement) on file with the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS). Vendors must request access via SAM.gov and email their approved DD Form 2345 to the contracting specialists. All TDPs must be destroyed after use. The TDP includes source-controlled parts (listed in Attachment 0003), and vendors must demonstrate the ability to obtain these from approved sources (Seabox, Clariant Corp) or pursue a Source Approval Request (SAR) package.
Capability Statement Request
Interested vendors are requested to review the TDP and complete Section D (Pricing & Delivery) of the Sources Sought Notice regarding their capability to meet demand. The survey seeks detailed information on:
- Company Profile: Name, address, CAGE, POC, business type (NAICS 336390), small business status, Nonmanufacturer Rule qualification, and DD Form 2345 status.
- Capability & Experience: Past performance, manufacturing/assembly location, commercial availability (COTS), critical features, manufacturing processes, sourcing strategies, quality control (e.g., ISO 9001), and innovation suggestions.
- Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to ADR and CE marking regulations.
- Sourcing: Intent to purchase source-controlled parts or pursue SAR.
- Pricing & Delivery: Production capacity, lead times, Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) price per kit, pricing structure, and logistics/shipping capabilities (including European locations).
- Market Differentiation: Identification of competitors and company strengths.
