# USMC Awards Sabel ARV Task Order

On October 28, 2026, the U.S. Marine Corps awarded Sabel Systems a task order for digital engineering and digital acquisition support to the Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV) program. The order has a **$19.05 million ceiling** with three 12-month option periods; the initial six-month effort is funded at approximately $390,000. The options create potential follow-on work but are not guaranteed, making this award relevant to firms supporting defense vehicle programs and digital engineering capabilities.

- The initial funding is substantially below the ceiling, so contractors should distinguish funded work from the potential value of option periods when assessing the opportunity.
- The award signals demand for engineering data and digital acquisition support in Marine Corps vehicle modernization. Firms with relevant capabilities may evaluate teaming or subcontracting opportunities in comparable programs.
- Sabel Systems is the prime contractor; the task order supports the ARV program through the U.S. Marine Corps and Program Manager Light Armored Vehicles.
