Oshkosh, WI (WTAQ) – Oshkosh Corporation can resume work on the Army’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) production contract.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) dismissed Lockheed Martin’s protest Tuesday, allowing the U.S. Army to lift a stop work order on Oshkosh Corp.
Lockheed can appeal the dismissal.
The Army had awarded Oshkosh Corp. the $6.7 billion JLTV contract in August 2015.
After delivering 22 prototypes and 14 months of competitive testing, Oshkosh beat out Lockheed Martin and AM General for the JLTV contract, causing Lockheed Martin to protest.
According to the Army, the initial contract calls for about 17,000 vehicles.
Oshkosh will begin delivering vehicles within the next 10 months.
