ACC-DTA will procure an estimated quantity of 2,021 Joint Light Tactical Vehicle Trailers (JLTV-T) and 55,300 hours of Total Package Fielding (TPF) support for the JLTV-T. As authorized by FAR 6.302-1, procurement by other than full and open competition is necessary because the JLTV-T is the only system that can meet the payload and mobility characteristics as defined in section 5.2.27 of the JLTV FoV Capability Production Document (CPD) which states, “Companion Trailers - The JLTV FoV shall have a family of companion trailers capable of meeting similar mobility characteristics to the prime mover.” This requirement is for trailers that will safely carry the associated Mission Role Varian (MRV) payload and meet the same mobility characteristics as its attached MRV prime mover. These hardware items are anticipated to be procured on a fixed-priced basis and shall be produced in accordance with the JLTV-T Technical Data Package (TDP). Additionally, the requirement includes Total Package Fielding (TPF) to ensure gaining units are fully trained in operation and maintenance of the new equipment and to ensure the equipment is delivered to the gaining units on schedule and fully mission capable. These TPF services are anticipated to be procured on a cost-plus basis. JPO JLTV is pursuing this increase of 2,021 JLTV-Ts and the ancillary TPF hours based on the Army Fragmentary Order (FRAGO) 7 Fielding Forecast with the Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Mode (ReARMM) released in August 2021. The award is required to prevent a fielding gap from FY22 through FY24 and allow JLTV-T capability to continue to support the requirements. An award to a source other than Oshkosh for the JLTV-T would result in an unacceptable delay. It is critical to meet the intent of the Army’s strategy and have continuous and consistent fielding’s to deployable units. The lack of JLTV-T leads to decreased capability, protection and mobility for Soldiers and Marines. It is estimated that an award to another contractor would take 33 months for contract evaluation/award, tooling/supply chain lead time, new contractor and Government validation of TDP/CSP, supplier qualification and first article testing to get to a full rate production. The estimated quantities will fulfill fielding requirements for various Department of Defense (DoD) customers from FY22 through FY26. ACC-DTA intends to award these requirements on a sole source basis to Oshkosh Defense LLC. The Government estimates it will order a maximum of 2,021 JLTV - Trailers and up to an additional 55,300 TPF hours for DoD requirements within the current period of performance ending 30 November 2023. However, this is an estimate only, not a representation to an offeror or contractor that the estimated quantity will actually be required or ordered. All JLTV-T (Trailers) and TPF hours will be ordered pursuant to FAR 17.207 Exercise of Options. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 336212. The inspection/acceptance and FOB points are Origin. Although it is the Government's intent to solicit and negotiate with only one source as authorized by FAR 6.302-1, Oshkosh Defense LLC (Cage Code 75Q65), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. This is a pre-solicitation notice, otherwise known as a synopsis. The solicitation (Letter RFP) pertaining to this notice will not be available for a minimum of 15 days from the date of this notice. Contractors should not call the buyer or procuring contracting officer seeking a copy of the solicitation (or other data) as none will be available until the solicitation is issued. No hard copies of the solicitation will be issued. (16) National Stock Number (NSN): 2330-01-653-9745 (17) Specification and whether an offeror, its product, or service must meet a qualification requirement in order to be eligible for award, and identification of the office from which additional information about the qualification requirement may be obtained (see subpart 9.2): Performance requirements are contained within the JLTV Purchase Description. (18) Manufacturer: Oshkosh Defense, LLC (19) Size, dimensions, or other form, fit or functional description: OPERATING DIMENSIONS: 4510mm (177.6 IN) L x 2438mm (96.0 IN) W x 1510mm (59.4 IN) H (20) Predominant material of manufacture: Steel and aluminum. (21) Quantity, including any options for additional quantities: 2,021 JLTV –T and 55,300 TPF Hours (22) Unit of issue: Each (EA) (23) Destination information: FOB Origin. (24) Delivery schedule: The Government requires deliveries to begin no later than six months after award. (25) Duration of the contract period: Current date through 30 Nov 2023. (26) For a proposed contract action in an amount estimated to be greater than $25,000 but not greater than the simplified acquisition threshold, enter- (i) Procedures to be used in awarding the contract: A Letter RFP will be utilized for this action and the award may be under W56HZV15C0095. However, due to a Government contracting software limitation, relating to Accounting Classification Reference Numbers (ACRN), a continued contract may be issued pursuant to DFARS 204.16(c). For reference, the Procurement Instrument Identifier (PIID) in support of the anticipated continued contract is as follows: W56HZV20C0050. (ii) The anticipated award date: 20 June 2022 (27) Reason justifying the lack of competition: As previously stated, an award to a source other than Oshkosh for the JLTV-T would result in an unacceptable delay. As authorized by FAR 6.302-1, procurement by Other Than Full and Open Competition is necessary because the JLTV-T is the only system that can meet the payload and mobility characteristics as defined in the JLTV Family of Vehicle (FoV) Capability Production Document (CPD) which states, “Companion Trailers - The JLTV FoV shall have a family of companion trailers capable of meeting similar mobility characteristics to the prime mover.” This performance capability was directly reflected during the JLTV Multi-Service Operational Test & Evaluation (MOT&E) event completed in April 2018. This noncompetitive contract action is justified because it prevents fielding gaps resulting from FRAGO7 and allows the JLTV-T to continue to support mission requirements. Oshkosh is the only source that can readily provide the JLTV-T and TPF support without the Government incurring an unacceptable delay. Under the current contract, Oshkosh has proven the ability to deliver JLTV-Ts six- months post award vice the estimated 33 months it would take to award, test, produce and deliver under a competitive procurement specific to the JLTV-T.
