This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren. The document seeks to award a new Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Allison Transmission, Inc. for a Transfer Transmission Assembly (NSN 2520-01-501-9589) used in Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) such as FMTV A0, A1/A1R, HIMARS, and other artillery rocket systems. The base quantity is 12 units with an option for 12 additional units, and the total estimated maximum contract value is redacted.

The J&A highlights that Allison Transmission is the sole source for this transmission, as they own all technical data rights and have a proven track record of manufacturing this component since 2003. The government lacks a complete technical data package and proprietary rights to competitively produce the item. Reverse engineering the transmission would cost approximately $5.3M and take significant time and resources. Two potential vendors (Clarke Power Services and MTP Drivetrain Services) responded to a Sources Sought Notice, but both are authorized distributors of Allison Transmission and have previously been awarded government contracts for similar items.
