Area of Interest (AoI) - Phase II TIGER Readiness

Area of Interest (AoI): Phase II: TIGER Readiness
Agency: Department of the Army
Program: Integrated Logistics Support Center (ILSC) and Capability Program Executive (CPE) Ground Platform: Abrams Main Battle Tank – Total Integrated Engine Revitalization (TIGER) of the Automotive Gas Turbine (AGT) 1500 Engine

1.0 Background and Phase II Objectives

Following the successful completion of the TIGER Hackathon Industry Day and the initial review of the Technical Data Packages (TDP), the Government is initiating Phase II this AoI. Vendors have now physically inspected the AGT 1500 engine and some components, engaged with subject matter experts, and identified the specific critical and single-source components they are interested in manufacturing or supplying. The objective of Phase II is to move from capability assessment to actionable execution. The Government requires detailed, time-bound production roadmaps, technical execution strategies, and clear commercial/qualification metrics from vendors for their down-selected components. 2.0 Vendor Response Requirements for Phase II
Vendors who choose to participate in Phase II must submit a Detailed Execution Plan addressing the following criteria for each component they intend to produce:

2.1 Technical Execution Strategy (TDP Alignment)

Based on the TDP information provided and reviewed post-Industry Day, vendors must detail exactly how they will execute on the components they are interested in. This section must include: Component Down-Selection and Government Data Requirements: Component Selection: Clearly identify which specific components are targeted for production. Government Furnished Data (GFD): Specify what additional data, models, test parameters, or technical assistance is required from the Government to initiate manufacturing. Manufacturing & Sourcing Approach: Detailed technical approach to fabricating the selected components. Specify how these components will be sourced, explicitly confirming whether the selected method falls under: Traditional Second Source
Advanced Manufacturing
Historical Production & Capabilities:
Detail prior organizational experience producing similar components or components of equivalent complexity. Provide past performance references for similar components or components produced through similar methods. Include details quantifying the complexity of other components they have produced, such as materials, tolerances achieved, and special processes used. Provide a summary of the facility's inherent capabilities to produce these specific components (e.g., machine footprints, processing limits).
