MK-48 Cabs and Repair Kits

The government plans to issue a contract to Oshkosh Truck Company for the procurement of MK-48 cabs and repair kits. This acquisition will be made without competition, as the government holds no technical data on these items and will negotiate exclusively with Oshkosh under the authority of FAR 6.302, which allows sole-source contracting. Although this notice serves as an announcement of intent rather than a formal solicitation, interested parties may express their capability and interest within 15 calendar days following the publication date. The government will consider any proposals received during this period but retains full discretion to proceed without further competition. No solicitation document has been issued, and inquiries by phone will not be entertained. If no suitable responses are received within the specified timeframe, the contract will be awarded to Oshkosh Truck Company without additional notification. The contract falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Commander’s office in Albany, Georgia. This action signals the government's intent to efficiently acquire the necessary items from a single known source while maintaining an opportunity for other potential suppliers to demonstrate their interest.
