12/4/24, 12:34 PM T-9 Electro-Hydraulic Medium Dozer Contract Extension Redacted J&A
The Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract modification with Caterpillar, Inc. for T-9 Electro-Hydraulic Medium Dozers. The contract extension will add three one-year ordering periods from March 2024 to March 2027, increasing the overall contract value from $36.8M to $98M (estimated at $61.2M). The procurement includes 43 Type I dozers, 43 Type II dozers, 18 additional dozers, 20 Special Tool Kits, 6 Arctic Kits, and associated logistics and training services. The sole-source justification is predicated on Caterpillar being the Original Equipment Manufacturer with proprietary technical data rights that they declined to sell to the government, and market research confirmed no viable alternative sources. After conducting a market research notice on SAM.gov from April to May 2023 that received only one response from Caterpillar, the Army determined that pursuing alternate sources would result in an unacceptable 42-month delay in meeting the T-9 EH Medium Dozer program requirements, which currently has an acquisition objective shortfall of 440 vehicles.
