The US Army has awarded a $3bn contract to Oshkosh Corporation for 23,000 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) vehicles and trailers, confirming a contract originally awarded in August 2009.
The Army announced that the contract would remain with Oshkosh after an exhaustive evaluation process spurred by protests filed by BAE Systems and Navistar after they missed out on the original contract.
