Struts Solution for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) in support of Program Manager Advanced Amphibious Assault (PM AAA)

The Department of Defense, through the Program Manager Advanced Amphibious Assault (PM AAA), is seeking information from manufacturers regarding alternative strut solutions for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) Fleet of Vehicles (FoV). The objective is to identify commercially available or non-developmental solutions that meet or exceed the specifications of the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s struts, particularly in terms of corrosion resistance and compatibility with the ACV's operational environment, which includes exposure to maritime conditions. This initiative is critical for enhancing the durability and long-term sustainment of the ACV, as the vehicles face severe corrosive environments that can compromise their performance. Interested vendors must submit their responses by 10:00 AM local time on December 23, 2025, to Kathleen W. Keys at kathleen.keys@usmc.mil or Matthew Mercer at matthew.mercer@usmc.mil, as this notice serves solely for market research and does not constitute a request for proposals.
