Oshkosh Defense was awarded a modified contract from the U.S. Army for the procurement of 258 joint light tactical vehicles and 1,727 kits. The Department of Defense announced the terms of the deal in a release Wednesday. The modified contract is worth more than $100.1 million.

Work on Wednesday's contract will occur in Oshkosh, Wisc., and is expect to be completed by May 2019, according to the Pentagon press release. Oshkosh will receive more than $100.1 million, appropriated from fiscal 2017 and 2018 U.S. Army other procurement funds, coupled with funds from the U.S. Marine Corps and the Office of Chief Army Reserves.
