AXLE ASSEMBLY, AUTOM

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a new Firm-Fixed-Price contract. The Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN) intends to procure an Axle Assembly, NSN 2520-01-664-6314, for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) A1/A1R/A1P2.

• The primary deliverable is the Axle Assembly, NSN 2520-01-664-6314.

• This includes two part numbers: Meritor part number RP15611NFDF32614 and Government part number 12422746-003.

• The contract is for a base quantity of 17 each, with a 100% option quantity of 17 each, totaling 34 each.

• The component is described as a heavy-duty part that automatically switches between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, enabling FMTV operation on various terrains.

• Contract type: Firm-Fixed-Price.

• Acquisition Method Code (AMC): 3 (Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer).

• Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC): B (Acquisition restricted to source(s) specified on "Source Control", "Altered Item" or "Selected Item" drawings/documents).

• This document justifies the use of other than full and open competition, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source).

• Meritor Heavy Vehicle Systems is identified as the only approved source due to unique design requirements and the lack of a complete, Government-controlled Technical Data Package (TDP) for competitive reprocurement.

• Reverse engineering to develop a competitive TDP is estimated to be costly and time-consuming, with potential for unacceptable delays and duplication of costs.

• Not applicable, as this is a justification for other than full and open competition.

• Market research included a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov, which received one response from BHPE LLC, who is not an approved source.

• Online searches did not identify any companies that could provide a direct replacement Axle Assembly meeting the FMTV's performance specifications without significant adaptation.

• The procurement history shows previous contracts with Global Logistics and Wheeler Fleet Solutions, authorized distributors for Meritor.

• There are no current plans to increase competition for future procurements.
