About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract to Meritor Industrial Products LLC for 8 differential and driving assemblies (NSN 2520-01-592-5841) with an option for 8 additional units, intended for use on the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) A1 M1070A1 vehicle. The contract (SPRDL1-25-C-0016) was awarded on December 7, 2024, using Army Working Capital Funds, with Meritor identified as the sole capable manufacturer due to proprietary technical data and specialized expertise. A comprehensive market analysis revealed that reverse engineering to enable competition would cost approximately $3.5 million and require 42 months, rendering such an approach uneconomical. A Sources Sought notice posted on February 26, 2024, elicited responses from three companies expressing interest, but no alternative sources were identified as capable of immediate production. The previous contract with Axletech International LLC (now Meritor), awarded on August 17, 2018, was for $514,755.76, providing context for the current procurement strategy.
