Army industry engagement on future Tactical Wheeled Vehicle strategy

The Army is seeking industry input to shape its future tactical wheeled vehicle acquisition strategy, not requesting vehicle proposals or making a purchase at this time. - Agency: Department of the Army, through the Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Agile Sustainment & Ammunition (PAE AS&A). - Purpose: Gather industry perspectives on future light- and medium-duty Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) capabilities for modern multi-domain conflict. - Areas of interest: Operational flexibility, survivability, cost-effectiveness, and long-term fleet sustainability. - Engagement: Potential industry days, white paper submissions, and focused one-on-one sessions; an interest and security registration form is provided as an attachment. - Procurement details: No specific OEMs, vehicle models, quantities, part numbers, or purchase requirements are identified.

Description

This document outlines a multi-phase Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) Industry Engagement led by the Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Agile Sustainment & Ammunition (PAE AS&A). The purpose is to establish an early, collaborative dialogue with all innovators to inform the Army's TWV acquisition strategy for the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) FY30 cycle. The engagement aims to move away from traditional, rigid acquisition models and instead leverage new technology and agile contracting to develop survivable, cost-effective, and flexible light and medium-duty vehicle fleets suited for modern, multi-domain conflict. The process involves interactive industry days, white paper submissions, and one-on-one sessions to define requirements and create an executable acquisition roadmap.

Establish Early Collaboration: Build an open, ongoing dialogue between the Department of Army and all industry partners to leverage market innovations before finalizing formal requirements. Modernize Acquisition Models: Shift from slow, traditional defense procurement to agile contracting methods that can rapidly adapt to emerging technological trends. Inform the POM FY30 Cycle: Gather data-driven insights from industry’s capabilities to shape the Army's strategic programming and budgeting for the Fiscal Year 2030 cycle. Enhance Fleet Capability: Focus development efforts on creating light and medium-duty vehicle fleets that prioritize: operational flexibility in multi-domain conflicts survivability, and long term sustainability. Co-Develop a Strategic Roadmap: Use a structured process—including interactive industry days, white paper submissions, and focused one-on-one sessions to help guide and develop acquisition strategies for requirements moving forward.
