In the event the Government changes the location of future postings the Government will make Industry aware of the chnge and will update the current posting to include a link to the new posting location.

20 ID - FO Contract

Does split procurement mean contract runs out & new contract awarded to one vendor? Or will Oshkosh receive contract for some & another vendor will supply some

This is not a split contract. The Government will compete the follow-on contract through full and open competition and award to only one contractor. However, the Government is planning a "transition period" where it intends to continue ordering vehicles off of the current production contract even after the award of the follow-on requirements contract to avoid a break in deliveries and allow for an orderly ramp up.

ID -Lease

In planning the receipt of the lease materials – the two vehicles roll on/roll off the trailer – with no special requirements and are part of the normal process at our our facility I envision that the “B-Kit Armor Package” is coming separately and will most likely be palletized – requiring additional handling and specialized equipment (i.e. fork truck capacity, loading dock, etc?) plus any additional security precautions that maybe required.

Do you know where/who is processing the corresponding B-Kit as part of the lease program – or where I can get the preliminary information to ensure we are prepared to receive? I understand that the lease agreement is tentatively planned for late June/July, but I want to make sure we’ve comprehended the requirements in our plan.

The Government will coordinate the shipping and inform the leasee of the projected delivery date, once it is known. The JLTV B-Kits will be crated and are separate from the vehicles. In order to safely handle the B-Kit Armor package, the Government recommends using a fork lift. Weight and dimension information is provided for the JLTV B-Kits to assist with determining the appropriate specialized equipment (fork lift). In addition, there are no additional special security requirements associated with the JLTV B-Kit.

Weight & Dimension Information:

-Packaged B-Kit Armor (4-door, General Purpose): 5,129 lbs / 90" x 78" x 18"

ID- Sources Sought

I realize that the subject sources sought was due last September 27th but Company XYZ just recently became aware of the JLTV Follow-on Production solicitation (W56HZV-20-R-0072). If Company XYZ submitted a completed sources sought questionnaire now would the submission be accepted by the USG for considering Company XYZ as an interested prime contractor? If so, I would submit the completed NDA as well as the DD Form 2345 per the sources sought instructions. If not, is a future sources sought planned for the JLTV Production for Company XYZ to throw its hat into the ring?

The Government is not currently seeking additional response to the previously released Sources Sought Notification. In the event a Company failed to respond to the initial Source Sought Notification that Company can still be an interested Prime Contractor.
