Timeline
    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Marine Corps (USMC), is conducting a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential vendors for the supply and integration of brake calipers for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) Family of Vehicles. The primary objective is to find manufacturers capable of providing durable brake calipers that can operate effectively in extreme environmental conditions, including temperatures ranging from -40°F to 120°F, and that meet specific performance criteria such as weight limits, corrosion resistance, and operational capabilities in both land and amphibious environments. This initiative is crucial for ensuring the ACV's braking systems are reliable and effective across diverse operational scenarios. Interested vendors must submit their capability statements by November 15, 2024, to the designated contacts, Shanna Laging and Jacob Garner, via email, as the government seeks to assess the marketplace without obligating itself to procure any goods or services.

    The Program Executive Officer Land Systems (PEO LS) of the United States Marine Corps is issuing a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential vendors for the supply and integration of brake calipers for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) Family of Vehicles. This notice serves as a planning tool and is not a solicitation for proposals. The brake calipers must be durable, capable of operating in extreme environmental conditions, and meet specific performance criteria, such as functioning effectively under various weights, slopes, and terrains. Key requirements include operational capability in temperatures from -40°F to 120°F, resistance to corrosion, a weight limit of 40 lbs. per caliper, and the ability to withstand immersion in water. Vendors are invited to submit information about their capability to meet these specifications, including lead times for design and production, engineering capabilities, and past performance. Responses are due by November 15, 2024, to assess the marketplace for qualified vendors without obligating the Government to procure any goods or services. This initiative reflects the Marine Corps’ commitment to equipping its vehicles with high-performance braking systems suitable for diverse operational scenarios.
