Fuel and Lubricants Engineering Services and Support

The Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gauge interest from both small and large contractors capable of providing engineering and technical service support, alongside facilities maintenance services, for the U.S. Army's Fuels and Lubricants Branch. The RFI intends to explore capabilities related to the Research, Development, Testing, and Engineering (RDT&E) of various fluids and materials used in military ground vehicles and equipment. Key services sought include physico-chemical analyses, engine durability testing, and participation in standards organizations. The selected contractor will also be tasked with building maintenance, equipment calibration, and quality control of laboratory operations. Interested organizations must supply details about their size classification, previous relevant contracts, and capabilities, particularly in engine and component testing. Submissions are due by February 15, 2025, and must be sent to the designated government contacts. All participants must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). This RFI facilitates market research for potential competitive procurement and does not guarantee a follow-up solicitation. Clarity and confidentiality are emphasized in response preparations due to the government's protective obligations under U.S. law.
