About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source procurement of a Gear Assembly Speed (NSN 3010-01-570-7721) used on the Palletized Load System (PLS) A1 vehicle. The contract was awarded to Meritor Industrial Products LLC for 6 units with an option for 6 additional units, based on their status as the sole manufacturer with necessary technical data rights and expertise. Market research evaluated potential commercial alternatives from Rockwell, DANA/Spicer, and Hendrickson, but found no suitable substitutes. Reverse engineering the gear assembly was deemed cost-prohibitive, estimated at $3.5 million and requiring 54 months of development, which was not economically viable given the annual usage rate of 6 units. The previous contract for similar equipment was awarded to Drive Line, Inc. in September 2022 for $122,070, while the current contract (SPRDL1-25-C-0013) was awarded on December 19, 2024, with the total contract value remaining undisclosed. A Sources Sought notice posted on May 29, 2024, received only one response from BHPE LLC, further supporting the sole source justification.
