This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA-WRN) for the procurement of diesel engines from Oshkosh Defense LLC. The J&A seeks to award a three-year, firm-fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for NSN 2815-01-562-6787 (Engine, Diesel) used on Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTT) A4, with a Guaranteed Minimum Quantity of 14 engines and maximum quantity of 195 engines.

The document justifies the sole-source award to Oshkosh based on their unique technical data rights and expertise with the HEMTT engine system. Market research conducted in October 2022 found no viable alternative sources, as reverse engineering would cost approximately $40 million and take 60 months. A Sources Sought notice posted on SAM.gov in October 2022 received one response from MTP Drivetrain Services, but the requirement was specifically for new engines. The procurement history shows previous limited source contracts to Oshkosh for this item, including a $11.8M award in March 2019 and a $685K award in March 2019. The engine is a 450hp, inline 6, 4-stroke diesel engine with turbocharger and air-to-air aftercooled system specifically designed for the HEMTT platform.
