How to bid on MT32 or MD98 Rocket Motors for the Department of the Army
What the agency is buying
The Department of the Army is looking to purchase either MT32 or MD98 rocket motors. Specifically, they need MT32 with NSN 1377-01-255-1650, Part Number 50436-11, or MD98 with NSN 1377-01-318-1830, Part Number 1340-1. This will result in a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) award.
This opportunity is for vendors who can supply these specific rocket motors to the Department of Defense. It is a restricted procurement, meaning only qualified sources are eligible to bid.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting proposals is August 21, 2026, at 2:00 P.M. CDT. This date was extended by Amendment 0002. All proposals must be received by this time.
After the deadline, the Department of the Army will evaluate the submitted proposals from qualified sources to make a single Firm Fixed Price award.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is specifically for firms that are already recognized as qualified sources for MT32 or MD98 rocket motors. It is a restricted procurement, as authorized by 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1(b).
To be eligible, an offeror must submit a valid Qualification Acceptance Letter, or a Government approved equivalent, signed by an authorized Government engineer. This letter verifies the firm's status as a qualified source for this requirement. Firms in the security and defense manufacturing sector with the specific qualifications for these rocket motors are the target for this bid.
