How to bid on System Technical Support for AMPV and M113 Vehicles for the Army

What the Army is buying and why it matters

The Department of the Army plans to extend its contract with BAE Systems for System Technical Support and Sustainment System Technical Support services. This covers the AMPV and M113 Families of Vehicles. The extension is for a six-month period, from January 7 through July 6, 2027. These services include engineering, logistics, and field support, which are critical for the vehicles managed by Project Manager Mounted Armored Vehicles.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

This opportunity was published on July 22, 2026. The deadline for submitting capability information is August 14, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. At this deadline, the Army Contracting Command–Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) will consider all submitted capability statements.

Who this opportunity suits

This procurement is restricted to BAE Systems Land & Armaments, LP, as they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer and complete technical data packages are not available for competition. However, other responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration. This opportunity is for firms with expertise in equipment technical support, sustainment, engineering, logistics, and field support for armored vehicles.

How to respond

To respond, you need to submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation. The Army Contracting Command–Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) will consider these submissions. Since the government intends to exercise an option on an existing contract, a separate solicitation document is not available. The point of contact for this action is Michael Shumar.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response

When preparing your capability statement, clearly articulate your firm's experience and expertise in providing system technical support, post-production system support, or sustainment system technical support for similar vehicle families. Highlight your capabilities in engineering, logistics, and field support. Even though the procurement is restricted, a strong capability statement can demonstrate your firm's potential for future opportunities.

Ensure your submission directly addresses the type of services required: development of changes to existing products, production activities, and sustainment phase support. Provide specific examples of past performance that align with these requirements. Focus on demonstrating how your firm could meet the agency's needs if a competitive opportunity arose.
