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. Funding Timeline and Acquisition Strategy
The Government intends to obligate funds and award initial prototype projects in September 2026. Consequently, priority will be given to vendors who submit complete, actionable white papers capable of immediate execution based on the information and Technical Data Packages (TDP) currently available. The final acquisition strategy is currently in development and will be directly informed by the volume and quality of the white papers received. To optimize execution, the Government reserves the right to award Other Transaction (OT) agreements directly to vendors, or to utilize the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC) as the prime integrator to manage and award the subsequent sub-agreements. 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:
