5. Reason for Authority Cited:

a. Oshkosh Defense, LLC is the only provider of the Oshkosh Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) training on the Oshkosh vehicle platforms. No other manufacturer or agency has the capability, knowledge, and resources to support the requirements.

Additionally, Oshkosh Corporation is the company that originally developed the system for the Army. This is a commercial service acquisition being awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. The acquisition if for $550,000.00 under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures threshold. Market research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10 and FAR Part 8, Mandatory Sources. Market research revealed that there are no mandatory sources that can support this requirement.

b. Alternatives: Currently, there are no other alternatives. Oshkosh Defense LLC is the only source available to provide training on Oshkosh manufactured equipment to 4ID mechanics. Oshkosh Defense LLC do not have any distributors.

c. Additional Supporting Information: The current contract W911RZ-23-0065 period of performance ends 29 September 2024. To prevent a break in service, the follow-on contract period of performance will begin 30 September 2024.

d. Impact if justification not approved: If this J&A is not approved, there would be a break in service which would have an impact on 4ID mechanics receiving the required training needed to repair vehicles especially during deployments.

e. Efforts to Obtain Competition: On 4 August 2024, a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) was posted on SAM.gov; as result, Oshkosh Defense LLC, was the only source capable to perform the training. The Contracting Officer shall publish the notices required by

FAR 5.201.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: The Contracting Officer shall publish the notices required by

FAR 5.201.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: 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.

8. Market Research: There are no other qualified sources after conducting market research. Oshkosh Corporations is the only source for the Original Equipment manufacturing (OEM) and repair that exist since they developed their first truck contract for the Army and the Marine Corps in 1976. Previous Contract W911RZ23P0065 was awarded and its sole sourced to Oshkosh for the OEM training which is reference in the market research report.
