T-9 Electro-Hydraulic Medium Dozer Contract Extension Redacted J&A   3

Background
The Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is extending the T-9 Dozer EH Medium Dozer requirements contract (W56HZV-21-D-0034) by adding three one-year ordering periods. This action is awarded on a sole source basis to Caterpillar, Inc., the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the T-9 EH Medium Dozer.

Caterpillar owns the Technical Data Package (TDP) and related software necessary for production, making them the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement without unacceptable delays.

Work Details
The contract extension includes:
- T-9 EH Medium Dozers (Type I and Type II)
- Associated kits
- Ancillary services

The Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) for the T-9 Medium Dozer is 1,711 units, with 1,271 already procured. The extension aims to provide an estimated 86 additional units to address a current shortage of 440 units, reducing it to 354 units. The requirement for timely supply of these dozers and related services hinges on access to the proprietary TDP held by Caterpillar.

Place of Performance
The geographic location for delivery and performance is not explicitly stated but typically involves U.S. Army facilities.
