About this file
This Justification and Approval (J&A) document from the Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN) proposes to award a new firm-fixed-price contract to Oshkosh Defense for a Transfer Transmission Assembly (NSN 2520-01-370-7444). The contract is for 7 transfer cases at a quantity of 14 each, used on the Palletized Load System (PLS) to transfer power from transmission to driving axles. The procurement is being conducted as a sole-source action under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as Oshkosh is the only manufacturer with the technical expertise and facilities to produce this specific transfer case.
Market research was conducted on 11 November 2024, which found no suitable alternative sources due to lack of technical specifications. The government does not own the technical data package, and reverse engineering was determined to be cost-prohibitive. A Sources Sought Notice was posted to SAM.gov on 23 January 2025 for 14 days, and no additional sources expressed interest. Previous contracts for similar items were awarded to Oshkosh Defense in 2003 and 2005, and to MTP Drivetrain Services in 2020. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable, and the item has been classified as a commercial product.

Spice were reviewed. There is not enough information to determine if these options will meet the same form, fit, or function on the vehicle and operate in the same manner as the sole-source part. Additionally, a visual comparison of the transfer case from the Army technical manual to the researched alternatives was conducted, but none of the commercially available parts appear to be identical in mounting, size, or shape. Due to internal components, even a part that appeared the same externally could vary in performance, capability, or manufacturing.
Market research was conducted by the GVSC Heavy Tactical Vehicle Sustainment Team 11 November 2024, to find suitable competition for the Oshkosh transfer case.
The materials, dimensions, mounting details, and performance requirements are not available for this assembly. Due to the lack of a TDP or in-depth technical specifications of the sole-source part, the validity of researched transfer cases is difficult to evaluate.
Other manufacturers offer similar transfer cases, but the form, fit, and/or function of alternatives are not identical to the sole-source part.
