About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) document on January 21, 2026, for a sole source contract award (SPRDL1-26-C-0044) to procure Meritor Heavy Vehicle Systems Axle Assemblies for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV). The contract calls for the delivery of 34 axle assemblies total, consisting of a base quantity of 17 units with a 100% option quantity of 17 additional units, with individual unit prices previously ranging from $11,440.59 to $19,878.69 based on historical procurements. The sole source justification was based on the determination that only Meritor is an approved source with the requisite technical expertise and facilities to provide direct replacement assemblies, as the Government lacks a complete Technical Data Package and proprietary rights necessary for competitive procurement. Market research conducted in April 2025 identified no alternative suppliers capable of providing compatible assemblies without extensive integration and testing, and a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov yielded only one response from an unapproved vendor. The contracting officer determined that the cost to develop a competitive Technical Data Package through reverse engineering would be substantial and require years to justify through competition savings. The specific identity of the awarded vendor and the total contract value remain redacted in the published notice.
