About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has awarded a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract to Dana Light Axle Products LLC for a differential driving axle (NSN 2520-01-498-9104) used on the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) family on August 21, 2026, under a limited sources justification.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, establishing that Dana/AM General is the only responsible source. The differential was originally designed and developed by Dana and AM General at their expense, making the technical information proprietary to both firms. The Government lacks a complete Technical Data Package and determined that reverse engineering or independent research and development would be uneconomical, requiring an estimated 36 to 42 months and $5.5 million to $6.1 million in costs. Market research identified one interested vendor but confirmed no commercial off-the-shelf alternatives exist.
The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price agreement over five years with a guaranteed minimum quantity of 12 units and a five-year maximum quantity of 300 units. Performance periods are structured annually, beginning from the award date and extending through 1,824 days after contract award. The solicitation will include small business subcontracting requirements unless awarded to a small business concern. Prior procurements from AM General LLC for related components totaled approximately $795,000 across three contracts awarded between 2016 and 2018 using the same single-source justification method.
