About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime issued a Justification and Approval for sole-source procurement of an Axle Assembly, Automotive, Driving (NSN 2520-01-366-3318) used on Palletized Loading System (PLS) M1074-M1077 vehicles, awarding the contract to Oshkosh Defense LLC on February 12, 2026. The sole-source justification is based on Oshkosh being the only responsible source, as the axle assembly is a highly specialized component with design specifications, mounting details, and performance characteristics proprietary to Oshkosh, and the Government does not possess rights to the technical data package. Market research conducted in May 2025 identified seven alternative suppliers, but none could demonstrate identical form, fit, and function compatibility with the PLS platform, and a Sources Sought Notice posted in April 2025 generated no competing interest. The contract covers a base quantity of five units with an option quantity of five units for a total of ten units under a firm-fixed-price arrangement, with the anticipated contract value redacted. Reverse engineering was determined to be uneconomical, with estimated costs of several million dollars and lead times spanning multiple years, further supporting the sole-source determination.
