MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) Systems Technical Support and System Sustainment Technical Support (STS/SSTS)

Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), Michigan intends to issue a sole source Request for Proposal (RFP) to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Oshkosh Defense, LLC, for a five-year requirements contract on a Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee (CPFF) basis for Systems Technical Support and System Sustainment Technical Support (STS/SSTS) services. The RFP will be sole source in accordance with the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” This contract estimates 105,000 labor hours over five years for the continuation of existing sustainment services and will include material, other direct costs, and travel to support the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) Family of Vehicles (FoV). The contract will be further defined by individual task orders, issued throughout the life of the contract, and will be concurrent with award of four initial task orders for Program, Engineering, Logistics, and Configuration Management services.

This solicitation, W56HZV-21-R-0180, uses Operations and Maintenance (OMA) funds. The contract award is anticipated in the 4th quarter of Fiscal Year (FY) 2022.

Since Oshkosh owns the Technical Data Packages (TDPs), Oshkosh is the only source capable of providing STS/SSTS services for the M-ATV systems without substantial duplication of costs not expected to be recovered through competition. The Government does not have the pertinent technical data and computer software to enable competitive re-procurement.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes for this acquisition are 541330, 541990 and 811310.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and does not constitute a solicitation. It is the Government’s intent to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Oshkosh Defense, located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, with a Commercial and Government Entity Code (CAGE) 75Q65. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.

This is a pre-solicitation notice, otherwise known as synopsis. The solicitation pertaining to this notice will not be available for a minimum of 15 days from the date of this notice. Any questions pertaining to this notice, shall be submitted in writing to the Contract Specialist.
