This procurement is unrestricted with no set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors regardless of size. Oshkosh Defense LLC appears as the original equipment manufacturer for the specific part number required, though the solicitation is competitive and open to other qualified offerors. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement involves substantial quantities with delivery requirements spanning five ordering years, each lasting 364 days from contract award. Performance will be FOB Origin with inspection and acceptance at the origin point, and deliveries may be split between Defense Distribution Depots at Red River and New Cumberland. Contractors must maintain registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and comply with military preservation and Level A packaging requirements, with the contract carrying a DO (Defense Order) priority rating.
