Redacted Justification & Approval (J&A)

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The justification and approval (J&A) document pertains to the procurement of an Axle Assembly for the FMTV (Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles). The Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) Engineering conducted market research to identify potential suppliers and assess the availability of replacement parts. The agency aims to maximize small business opportunities through a Small Business Subcontracting Plan, but has determined that there are no viable options for increasing competition in future procurements. Work Details The contract involves the procurement of a direct replacement Axle Assembly for the FMTV. Market research conducted in April 2025 revealed that no new companies could provide a suitable replacement part that meets the exact performance specifications required. The only known manufacturer of this part is Meritor Heavy Vehicle Systems, which can also be obtained through authorized distributors such as Global Logistics and Wheeler Fleet Solutions. Previous contracts related to this procurement include SPRDL1-24-P-0102//0002AA and SPRDL1-18-R-0119.
