Israel extends Oshkosh tactical vehicle contract for defense forces

Oshkosh Defense, the manufacturer of Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV), will keep its production line open until 2025 due to new orders from Israel. The Israeli Ministry of Defense has placed two JLTV orders, one through a foreign military sale and another through a direct commercial sale. This extends the production line beyond the previously planned closure in 2024. Oshkosh has been the primary supplier of JLTVs since winning the contract in 2015 to replace the Humvee fleet. The company has also received orders from other countries, including the US Army and several European nations.

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.
