Oshkosh Defense loses protest over JLTV contract.

The Government Accountability Office has rejected Oshkosh Defense's protest over the Army's decision to award the contract for Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) to AM General. The initial contract is worth $230 million but could be worth up to $8.6 billion over a decade. Oshkosh Defense designed the JLTV as a replacement for the military's Humvees. U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin opposed the decision, saying AM General doesn't have the skilled workforce, experience, or infrastructure to build the tactical vehicles.

Auditors uphold $9 billion JLTV contract loss despite Oshkosh protest.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has rejected Oshkosh Defense's protest of the US Army's decision to award a nearly $9 billion contract to AM General to build Joint Light Tactical Vehicles. Oshkosh had taken issue with the Army's evaluation of its technical, price and cost proposals as well as with the Army's evaluation of AM General's submission. The GAO concluded that the Army reasonably evaluated proposals in accordance with the RFP's evaluation criteria, and that any judgments made were consistent with and adequately supported by the content provided in written proposals or observed as part of site visits conducting during the course of the solicitation process.

Oshkosh's protest over JLTV contract denied by GAO.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has denied Oshkosh Defense's protest over the $9.7bn Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) production deal with AM General, allowing the Army to proceed with the contract. Oshkosh had disputed the agency's evaluation of AM General's price and cost proposal, arguing that the service "unreasonably and unequally" conducted discussions. The JLTV A2 production facility should be completed around August 2023, with the first JLTV A2 test vehicles expected to roll off the production line around July 2024.
