The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is seeking 45 electrical equipment racks. The specific item is identified by NSN 5975-01-549-7992 and part number 12653230. This procurement will result in a single, firm-fixed-price contract.
This opportunity is a 100% small business set-aside. This means only small businesses are eligible to submit a bid, which can be a significant advantage for qualified vendors.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The solicitation was published on July 24, 2026. The deadline for submitting your response is August 07, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. You must submit a signed Solicitation and Amendment 0006 by this date and time.
Late submissions may not be considered, so it is crucial to prepare and submit your response well in advance of the deadline.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is specifically for small businesses that can supply electrical equipment racks. Given the nature of the item, firms with experience in manufacturing or supplying technology components, particularly for defense applications, would be well-suited.
A critical requirement is certification under the United States/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP). This is necessary because the technical data package (TDP) for this solicitation is export controlled. Without JCP certification, you will not be granted access to the technical data.
