b. Paragraph 7 of the previous JA for contract W911RZ-24-C-0003 states “Actions to Increase Competition” of the previous justification, stated: The highly specialized nature of the equipment does not facilitate the use of full and open competition sourcing. Technical data packages, specifications, engineering descriptions, statements of work or purchase descriptions suitable for full and open competition were not developed or are not available as Oshkosh Corporation has been the single source of maintenance and manufacturing support since Oshkosh Corporation developed vehicle platforms for the Army.
