Current stock on hand estimates for these items are with the Average Monthly Demand (AMD) being per month for the Left Valve Body, and per month for the Right Valve Body. Because the stock-on-hand is , pursuing a reverse engineering project would result in an accumulation of backorders, line-stoppage at the depot assembly level for the AVDSs, and non-mission capable vehicles.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition:

a. Effective competition: Due to the reasons cited in Section 5, the Government is limiting the competition to the sources cited in Section 2 above. Notices required by FAR 5.201 will be posted.

b. Subcontracting competition: Unless the contract is awarded to a small business, the solicitation and resulting contract will include FAR clauses 52.219-8, "Utilization of Small Business Concerns", 52.244-5, "Competition in Subcontracting", 52.219-16, "Liquidated Damages--Subcontracting Plan"," and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 252.219-7003, "Small Business Subcontracting Plan (DoD Contracts)", to maximize small business opportunities and utilization.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: There are no plans to increase competition for future procurements due to the reasons cited above.

8. Market Research: A Sources Sought Notice was posted to SAM.gov on 24 June , and was open for 16 days. One response was received.

In accordance with the tenets set forth in FAR 10.002(b)(2)(vii), market research was performed by the Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC), Heavy Combat Vehicle (HCV), Sustainment Engineering on 6 June 2025 by reviewing available product literature published by Cummins Inc and Caterpillar Inc. to determine if commercial items or non-developmental items are available to meet Government's needs or could be modified to meet the Government's needs. While these two sources have the ability to manufacture Valve Body assemblies, they currently manufacture Aftercooler Bypass Valve Body Assemblies for specific applications which are already existing and would be required to manufacture AVDS Aftercooler Bypass Valve Body Assemblies from scratch once the technical data was fully developed.

Since neither of these sources have produced this specific item, they have not completed the necessary testing to become a qualified source. Renk America, LLC.

(CAGE 02978) is currently the only source that provides the Aftercooler Bypass Valve Body Assemblies for the AVDS engine that are approved to support the Government requirement.
