About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA-WRN) issued a sole source justification and approval to award contract SPRDL1-26-C-0056 to Allison Transmission on January 12, 2026, for the manufacture and supply of pump cover assemblies (NSN 2520-01-235-9590) used in M113A3 Cross Drive Transmissions. The contract encompasses a base quantity of 149 units with an option for an additional 149 units, totaling 298 units under a firm-fixed-price arrangement. The government justified restricting competition to Allison Transmission based on their unique manufacturing capabilities and exclusive ownership of the required technical data rights, with the agency determining that the cost of reverse engineering and validating a competitive Technical Data Package would exceed $3.73 million and far outweigh any potential cost savings from developing an alternative source. Although market research identified eight potential small business vendors capable of producing the item, the extensive analysis, prototyping, and vehicle testing necessary to qualify a competitive supplier rendered full and open competition economically impractical. The specific contract award amount was not disclosed in the publicly available documentation.
