This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for a new firm-fixed-price contract. The procurement involves steering gears for the HEMTT A4 to HEMTT A2 modification kit, with a National Stock Number (NSN) 2530-01-707-2474. The contract requires a minimum quantity of 90 and a maximum of 3,908 steering gears, with Oshkosh Defense LLC as the sole source provider. Market research concluded no alternative suppliers exist, and reverse engineering is the only potential method to increase competition.

The contract will be awarded under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with a five-year period and Army Working Capital Funds. The total estimated contract value is redacted, but cost analysis suggests potential savings through competitive reverse engineering. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on SAM.gov on January 7, 2025, with no responses received. The procurement is specifically for steering gears designed to fit the HEMTT A2 chassis, and without technical data, it is not possible to determine if an alternate commercial source could meet the exact fit, form, and function requirements.
