Oshkosh Defense LLC

Oshkosh Defense LLC, a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corp headquartered in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, manufactures tactical vehicles, vehicle components, and parts for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor competing full-and-open on government contracts with no SBA set-aside designations. The vendor operates as a limited liability company and for-profit manufacturer, competing predominantly on full-and-open federal procurements rather than under small-business set-asides.

Oshkosh Defense's federal footprint is dominated by high-volume, low-dollar-per-unit orders for vehicle components and hardware served through Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) indefinite-delivery contracts. The vendor's primary concrete capability is manufacturing tactical vehicles and subordinate parts — wheels, brakes, transmissions, engines, chassis components, electrical assemblies, and associated kits — for the Department of Defense. Representative prime awards include a $38.9 million delivery order from the Army's Program Executive Officer for Combat Support and Combat Service Support (PEO CSCSS) in April 2026 for Family of Tactical Vehicles (FHTV) V production with curve pricing and economic price adjustment; a $34.3 million delivery order for Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) trucks and kits placed in March 2026; a $9.1 million delivery order for M984A4 wreckers and wrecker kits placed in April 2026; and a $5.5 million logistics effort delivery order supporting the FMTV Major Defense Acquisition Program. Smaller procurement categories flowing through DLA Land and Maritime span pneumatic beadlocks ($546,234), spring assemblies ($110,639), vehicle maintenance kits ($90,758 and $191,752 in individual orders), centrifugal compressors ($61,786), and hundreds of component-level procurements for fasteners, seals, hoses, brackets, and electrical contacts in the sub-$50,000 range.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 119,697 awards (91% of the vendor's award count) valued at $3.75 billion combined potential value, but this concentration masks a steep dollar-value skew: the Army's PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support, with only 285 awards, anchors $61.87 billion in combined potential value (52% of the vendor's total). The Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal places 481 awards worth $36.86 billion. The Marine Corps accounts for 403 awards worth $12.14 billion. The top two customers by dollar value (PEO CSCSS and ACC Detroit Arsenal) represent approximately 81% of the vendor's combined potential value, creating acute recompete exposure: 567 awards totaling $31.58 billion in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Oshkosh Defense holds seats on DLA Land and Maritime indefinite-delivery contracts for junction boxes ($350,000 ceiling), vehicular brackets ($350,000 ceiling), and brake shoe parts kits ($350,000 ceiling), with the top DLA vehicles carrying 35,931 and 12,965 task orders respectively. The vendor's vehicle holdings carry procurement discipline: DLA Land and Maritime issues between 4,000 and 120,000 orders per vehicle per year, typically in the sub-$10,000 range per order, reflecting routine supply-chain maintenance for deployed tactical vehicle fleets and sustainment depots.

Oshkosh Defense's NAICS profile reflects manufacturing: 45,665 awards fall under Hardware Manufacturing, 18,291 under Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing, and 17,228 under Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing. PSC codes reinforce component supply — Hardware, Commercial (13,060 awards); Vehicular Furniture and Accessories (9,462); Hose and Flexible Tubing (8,431); Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel, and Track Components (8,039); Vehicular Cab, Body, and Frame Structural Components (7,896).

Activity has declined materially: 15,476 awards in 2022 fell to 6,247 in 2025 and 1,216 in the first five months of 2026, reflecting the award-data snapshot bias of high-volume DLA transactions. Combined potential value across all 131,628 prime awards reaches $120.29 billion, though only $38.97 billion is obligated (32% execution rate). The vendor reports one sub-award under Mantech Advanced Systems International for vehicle parts in May 2026, signaling limited subcontracting footprint relative to the scale of prime work.
