Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency Land Warren (DLA-WRN) has issued a Justification & Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition to procure Transfer Transmission Assemblies (NSN 2520-01-577-8298) for the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) A1 drivetrain. This will be a firm-fixed-price, five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded on a sole-source basis to Oshkosh Defense, LLC.
Purpose & Justification
The J&A cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source). Oshkosh Defense, LLC is identified as the sole responsible source because they own the technical data and possess the necessary expertise and facilities. The government does not own the rights to the Technical Data Package (TDP) for this critical component, which represents over 50% of the HET A1 Kit's total cost. Reverse engineering to create a competitive TDP is deemed uneconomical. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice, yielded no responses.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-fixed-price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)
- Period of Performance: Five years
- Deliverables: A minimum of three (3) units and a maximum of thirty-eight (38) units of the Transfer Transmission Assembly (NSN 2520-01-577-8298) over the contract period. Specific part numbers from Oshkosh Defense and TACOM are included for the Transfer Case with Container.
- Sole Source Contractor: Oshkosh Defense, LLC (CAGE 75Q65)
- Place of Performance: Warren, MI
Set-Aside
This action is for a sole-source award and does not specify any small business set-aside for the primary contract. However, FAR clauses related to small business utilization and subcontracting will be included unless the contract is awarded to a small business.
Key Information
