3. _X_ OTHER REASONS. Oshkosh Corporation is the sole manufacturer for all current JLTV vehicles that have been produced for the military. These vehicles are unique to the DOD and cannot be purchased on the open market. Oshkosh provides the preventative maintenance training required in the PWS for all family of vehicles they manufacture. Oshkosh does not license training or have authorized resellers to conduct the training. The government also provides this training but is unable to support it due to its timing and OCONUS location. There are no other sources known to provide the training as prescribed in the PWS.

B. ___ BRAND NAME

Item required must be a brand name, product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

C. ___URGENT AND COMPELLING. The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in a work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would result in injury to the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

1. Date on which the requirement was first identified:

2. Required delivery date/period of performance:

3. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required:
