About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has awarded a sole-source firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract to Meritor Heavy Vehicle Systems on May 12, 2026, for axle assembly automotive driving components (NSN 2520-01-581-2108) used on M915A5 Line Haul Trucks under a five-year term.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A) and (B), establishing Meritor as the sole responsible source based on unique design capabilities and tailored specifications specific to the M915A5 platform. The Government lacks pertinent technical data for competitive reprocurement. Reverse engineering the part would cost an estimated $4.5 million with additional time and funding requirements, creating substantial cost duplication unrecoverable through competition. A Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov received no responses. Market research conducted in June 2025 identified no alternative manufacturers offering direct replacement parts or equivalent performance specifications.
The contract specifies a minimum order quantity of five units and maximum quantity of 53 units per year, funded through Army Working Capital Funds. Small business subcontracting requirements apply per FAR clauses 52.219-8, 52.244-5, 52.219-16, and DFARS 252.219-7003. The acquisition method is AMC 3 (acquire from the actual manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) with engineering source approval required. Prior procurement history documents seven contracts ranging from $12,472.38 to $87,875.25.
