Purchase Order SPE4A625PJ326

Oshkosh Defense LLC was awarded a $4,228 firm fixed-price purchase order by the U.S. Department of Defense Aviation agency on March 12, 2025, for a first article test. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for ultimate completion by March 26, 2026, and will be performed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a large, established defense contractor and subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, Oshkosh Defense specializes in manufacturing tactical vehicles and vehicle components for the Department of Defense and allied militaries, making it well-positioned to support military vehicle fleet requirements.

This purchase order represents a continuation of Oshkosh Defense's extensive relationship with defense procurement agencies, particularly the Defense Logistics Agency and Army Contracting Command, through which the company has demonstrated capabilities in supplying critical vehicle components including wiring harnesses, cable assemblies, brake components, and specialized military vehicle parts. The first article test designation indicates this contract involves evaluation and approval of an initial production article to ensure compliance with specification requirements before broader procurement can proceed, a standard practice for new or modified defense-related components entering the supply chain.
