Eying Future Competition, Army Mulls Purchase Of FHTV Data Package

摘要

The Army may purchase the technical data package for the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles from prime contractor Oshkosh Corp., a move that would allow the service to invite other companies to bid on future production contracts. Oshkosh's contract to build FHTV trucks expired in September, and the company is in talks with the Army on a bridge contract to sustain production until the service fleshes out plans to open the program to competition. "The government has requested an estimate for the FHTV technical data package from Oshkosh," Ashley Givens, an Army spokeswoman, told InsideDefense.com. "Any follow-on contract will be competed either based on the vehicle(s) performance specification or procured data package."
