Turkey’s procurement authorities have decided to release a request for proposal, to be sent to three local armored vehicles manufacturers, as part of the Altay tank program. This means that three companies will be invited to bid on the program, estimated at over $10 billion.
The companies that received the RFP from the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries, or SSM, are BMC, Otokar and FNSS, all privately owned companies. In June, SSM decided to scrap sole-source negotiations with Otokar for the Altay program. Otokar is the developer and builder of prototypes of the Altay, Turkey’s first indigenous new-generation main battle tank.
The Altay contract involves the serial production of an initial batch of 250 Altay tanks. In all, Turkey plans to manufacture 1,000 units.
