The requirement for the procurement of manufacture of an American made Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to produce a Heavy-Duty SUV vehicle platform that is consistent with the current fleet of General Motors Suburban vehicles. The basis for restricting competition is due to there being only one source capable of meeting this requirement and failure to award this contract to any vendor other than GMD would compromise national security. GMD possesses the rights to the specification and drawings required for the effort. The proposed contract action is for supplies which the Government intends to solicit with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1. 

This notice is not a request for proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this solicitation based on market research is solely within the discretion of the Government.
