Military Vehicles — Public Tenders
Military vehicles form one of the highest-volume areas of defence procurement. Public clients such as the German Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) regularly tender armoured vehicles, transport vehicles, and special-purpose vehicles. Procurement cycles are often long-term and cover not only initial procurement but also maintenance, spare parts, and modernisation.

- Procurement of protected transport vehicles for the Bundeswehr
- Framework agreement for the repair and maintenance of armoured vehicles
- Supply of spare parts for armed forces wheeled vehicles
- Modernisation of infantry fighting vehicles including weapon stations and sensor systems
- Procurement of logistics vehicles for off-road deployment

Challenges in finding tenders
Tenders for military vehicles are frequently classified as restricted or subject to particular confidentiality requirements. Many awards are made in restricted procedures or as negotiated procedures without prior publication under § 12 VSVgV (the German Defence Procurement Ordinance). As a result, only a portion of the relevant contracts becomes visible on public platforms.
In addition, vehicle procurements are often embedded in overall programmes, and specific statements of work only become accessible after security clearance. Search terms such as "protected vehicle", "wheeled armoured vehicle", or "transport vehicle" produce different sets of hits.
