This Justification and Approval (J&A) document from the Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN) outlines a proposed firm-fixed-price, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract for a Generator, Engine Accessory (NSN 2920-01-697-8473). The contract is for a critical component used on the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV), specifically an electrical generator that delivers 570 amperes at 28 volts. The contract will have a guaranteed minimum quantity (GMQ) of 12 units and a maximum quantity of 300 units, with C.E. Niehoff & Co. as the sole manufacturer and approved source.

The procurement is being pursued under a sole source justification, as the government lacks technical data and proprietary rights to competitively re-procure the item. Market research conducted in November 2024 found no commercially available alternators at 570 amperes other than those manufactured by C.E. Niehoff. A Sources Sought Notice was posted to SAM.gov on 09 December 2024 with no responses received. The estimated maximum value of the contract is redacted, and the contract will include provisions to maximize small business opportunities if not awarded to a small business. The document includes certifications from technical and sourcing leadership, and final approval from the contracting officer.
