How to bid on Transmission Kits for the Department of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense, specifically the Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal, is looking for Transmission Kits with NSN 2520-01-682-2226 and part number 12591930. This will be a five-year Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.
The guaranteed minimum quantity is 9 kits, with an estimated maximum of 1,125 kits. The estimated first delivery order quantity is 225 kits. This opportunity is significant for vendors who can supply these specific transmission kits consistently over a five-year period.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI) published on August 07, 2026. The deadline for responses is August 21, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET. The formal solicitation, W912CH-26-B-A011, is expected to be released in one to two weeks after the RFI publication.
It is crucial to submit your response by the stated deadline. The government will issue the solicitation and any amendments electronically, so it is your responsibility to check the portal regularly for updates. Failure to obtain and respond to amendments before the deadline may result in your proposal being rejected.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for equipment suppliers, particularly those experienced in manufacturing or distributing transmission kits (NAICS Code 333613). Firms capable of meeting military preservation and packaging standards, and those comfortable with inspection and acceptance at origin, will find this a good fit.
Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to provide goods or services to the Department of War. If you are not already registered, you should begin that process immediately.
How to respond

Tips for preparing a competitive response
Carefully review all technical specifications for the Transmission Kit (NSN 2520-01-682-2226, part number 12591930) once the formal solicitation is released. Pay close attention to any requirements for First Article Testing (FAT), as this may be required unless waived.
Ensure your pricing is competitive for a five-year Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract, considering the guaranteed minimum and estimated maximum quantities. Clearly demonstrate your capability to meet the estimated first delivery order quantity of 225 kits. Double-check all submission requirements and deadlines to avoid disqualification.
