About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of Speed Decreaser Gear Assemblies, critical safety components used on Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTT) and Palletized Loading Systems (PLS) that reduce crane motor rotation speed and increase output torque to meet a 14,000-pound crane capacity requirement. The sole source justification is based on Grove U.S. L.L.C. being the only manufacturer capable of providing these specialized components, with reverse engineering estimated to cost approximately $3.2 million and require 36 months to complete, making competitive procurement economically unfeasible. The contract SPRDL1-25-C-0113 was awarded to an undisclosed vendor on September 25, 2025, for an unknown amount, though the underlying requirement involves 7 units with an option for 7 additional units. The government's Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov received no responses, and the agency lacks the technical data package necessary to solicit alternative suppliers. The procurement will be executed on a firm-fixed-price basis using Army Working Capital Funds, with Melton Sales & Service having previously served as a distributor for Grove in prior similar procurements.
