Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land Warren has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of six (6) M1300 Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) Cab Assemblies. This requirement, identified by NSN 2510-01-719-0298 and part number D012N007, is for a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. The J&A, published on April 9, 2026, justifies a sole-source award to Oshkosh Defense LLC.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for complete cab assemblies for the M1300 HET truck. These assemblies are constructed of robust, welded steel and include the body, doors, windows, pre-installed wiring, and mounting points for essential controls. These components are critical for restoring the HET to full operational capability, supporting rapid deployment, and maintaining a mission-capable HET fleet.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price
- Quantity: Six (6) each
- Acquisition Method Code (AMC): 4 (Acquire, for the first time, directly from the actual manufacturer)
- Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC): R (Government does not own data/rights, uneconomical to reverse engineer)
- Published Date: April 9, 2026
Justification & Evaluation
This J&A cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source). The government has determined that Oshkosh Defense LLC is the only vendor possessing the necessary technical data and expertise to manufacture this specific cab assembly. Market research, including internet searches and a Sources Sought Notice, did not identify any viable alternatives or other interested sources capable of meeting the requirements. The estimated cost to reverse engineer the part and develop a competitive build-to-print Technical Data Package (TDP) is substantial and would not be recovered through subsequent competition within a reasonable timeframe.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition due to the sole-source nature of the required part. The contract will include clauses to maximize small business opportunities and utilization if not awarded to a small business.
Additional Notes
The Technical Data Package (TDP) or specifications are proprietary to Oshkosh and are unavailable to the Government. The item has been determined to be an "other-than-commercial product."
