ACC-WRN will procure an estimated quantity of 3,509 Joint Light Tactical Vehicle Trailers (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.” An award to a source other than Oshkosh for the JLTV-T would result in an unacceptable delay. Delaying Soldiers and Marines ability to operate missions utilizing JLTV FoV capabilities, will reduce the options for commanders in the field, harm mission execution, and result in loss of life and disabling injuries as current operations have pushed the HMMWV far beyond its original purpose and capabilities. Soldiers and Marines have already been compromised by not having JLTV’s increased capability, protection, and mobility and further delays will continue to compromise mission execution. It is estimated that an award to another contractor would take 35 months for technical data/software package validation, contract evaluation/award, tooling/supply chain lead time, supplier qualification and first article testing to get to a full rate production. The estimated quantities will fulfill requirements for various Department of Defense (DoD) customers from FY20 - FY22. ACC-WRN intends to award these requirements on a sole source basis to Oshkosh Defense LLC. The Government estimates it will order a maximum of 3,509 JLTV - Trailers for DoD requirements over the next three years. 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) 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.

Delaying Soldiers and Marines ability to operate missions utilizing JLTV FoV capabilities, will reduce the options for commanders in the field, harm mission execution, and result in loss of life and disabling injuries as current operations have pushed the HMMWV far beyond its original purpose and capabilities. Soldiers and Marines have already been compromised by not having JLTV’s increased capability, protection, and mobility and further delays will continue to compromise mission execution. It is estimated that an award to another contractor would take 35 months for technical data/software package validation, contract evaluation/award, tooling/supply chain lead time, supplier qualification and first article testing to get to a full rate production.
