How to respond to the Army’s Infantry Squad Vehicle Follow-On Market Questionnaire
What the Army is seeking
The Department of the Army wants information from companies that may help develop, produce, and sustain the Infantry Squad family of vehicles. The market survey covers the 9-passenger Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV-9) and the ISV-Utility.
This is a request for information, not a request for proposals. It is a chance for capable firms to share information about their ability to support these vehicles, not a request to submit a bid. Responses are voluntary, and the government will not cover the costs of preparing them.
Deadline and what it means
Responses are due November 25, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. The opportunity was published October 26, 2026.
Because this is an RFI, the deadline is for submitting information to the market survey, not a proposal due date. The supplied notice does not describe what happens after the deadline.
Who this opportunity may suit
This market survey may suit firms with relevant capabilities in vehicle development, production, or sustainment, particularly those able to support the ISV-9, the ISV-Utility, or both.
The Army is assessing the industrial base’s capacity to deliver and support these commercial platforms. Consider responding only if your company can provide useful information about that capacity.

Prepare a clear, useful response
Read the full RFI materials before drafting, and make sure your response addresses the Army’s interest in development, production, and sustainment of the vehicle family. Clearly distinguish your capabilities for the ISV-9 and ISV-Utility.
Use specific, supportable information about your company’s relevant experience and capacity. Keep claims factual, organize the response so it is easy to review, and allow time to submit before the deadline.
