About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract to Caterpillar Inc. (CAGE 11083) for a diesel engine with shipping and storage container on May 7, 2026, under contract SPRDL1-26-C-0093. The engine (NSN 2815-01-665-3137, part number 57K8952) is used on the M1272 Buffalo Mine-Protected Clearance Vehicle.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, based on the government's lack of necessary intellectual property data rights to enable competitive procurement from alternative sources and the determination that reverse engineering would be uneconomical. Market research identified four interested sources—MTP Drivetrain Services, Caterpillar Defense, Choate Performance, and Carter Machinery—but none demonstrated the capability to provide an engine and container meeting government specifications. The Sources Sought Notice ran from February 25 to March 12, 2025, on SAM.gov.
The contract requires a base quantity of 6 units with an option for 6 additional units, totaling 12 units. Funding is provided through Army Working Capital Funds. The acquisition method code is 4 (acquire directly from the actual manufacturer) with suffix code R indicating data ownership restrictions. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on commercial pricing analysis.
