About this opportunity
The Department of the Army has awarded contract W912CH-26-C-0076 to Hutchinson Industries, Inc. on a sole-source basis for the Wheel Assembly, Pneumatic Tire (NSN 2530-01-592-2310, part number AS0199/13006466), with a maximum contract value of $10,144,318.80.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1, on the grounds that only Hutchinson Industries possesses the pertinent technical data, intellectual property rights, and manufacturing expertise to produce this specialized component. The Government does not own the technical data package, and competitive re-procurement would require an estimated 55 months of reverse engineering effort. A Sources Sought Notice posted April 11, 2024 yielded only Hutchinson's response, and no other interested sources have expressed interest. The procurement history includes two prior sole-source awards to Hutchinson (Contract SPRDL1-18-C-0239 dated June 8, 2018 for $545,200, and Contract W15QKN-19-D-0107 dated August 22, 2022 for $1.3 million).
The wheel assembly is a two-piece aluminum alloy wheel with a run-flat tire designed specifically for the M777A2 155MM Howitzer and used to tow the weapon system when not in use. The contract covers a base quantity of 1,489 units with an option quantity of 1,489 units, totaling 2,978 units. The contract is Firm-Fixed-Price and funded by Army Working Capital Funds. Award was made September 14, 2026.
