Context & Notes

A Justification and Approval (J&A) document (dated March 5, 2026) supports this acquisition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing only one responsible source (Cummins Inc.) and the lack of sufficient technical data for competitive reprocurement. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice, yielded no responses. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the Buffalo vehicle, Force Protection (now GDLS), no longer produces the transfer case. Despite the J&A for other than full and open competition, this procurement is set aside for Small Business.
