JA SPRDL1-25-R-0185_Redacted - 8-4-25.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition (SPRDL1-25-R-0185) from the Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN).

The contracting agency proposes to award a firm-fixed-price contract to Oshkosh Defense LLC for the M1300 Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) Cab Assembly, NSN 2510-01-719-0298, part number D012N007. The procurement is for a base quantity of six units with no option, totaling six cab assemblies using Army Working Capital Funds. The cab assembly is a complete enclosure constructed of robust welded steel, including the body, doors, windows, pre-installed wiring, and mounting points for essential controls. The product is essential for HET truck operation, providing a safe and functional operating environment for drivers and enabling rapid deployment and redeployment of military assets. The contract value and specific pricing terms are redacted in the document. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on Oshkosh Defense LLC's exclusive ownership of intellectual property and technical data, including proprietary design specifications and Technical Data Package (TDP). The Government lacks rights to the TDP and does not own the specifications or manufacturing data. Reverse engineering the component would require substantial cost and time, including procurement of samples, reverse engineering, part qualification, design development, prototype testing, and RAM testing—estimated to cost significantly more than the contract value and requiring multiple years to offset through competitive savings. Market research confirmed Oshkosh Defense LLC as the only viable manufacturer. The solicitation will include FAR clauses 52.219-8, 52.244-5, 52.219-16, and DFARS 252.219-7003 to maximize small business subcontracting opportunities. The justification was approved on July 24, 2025, by Jamie Wiebusch, Competition Advocate.
