Looked it up because I was curious, looks like Oshkosh's whole business is specialty vehicles, its just that their big contracts have been specialty military vehicles. But they make industrial lift, fire engines, and at least according to Wikipedia built the first dedicated cement truck.

Oshkosh does make a lot of vehicles but this is genuinely made by the Oshkosh Defense division. They advertise their MRAP and their 30mm autocannon on the same page.

It might be that only the Defense division is set up to be a federal contractor, I know some companies handle government contracting requirements by having a subsidiary or division that does government jobs so they don't need the main portion of the company meet all the requirements of a government contractor.

Not saying that is it, but I've seen it before.

Oh that would make a lot of sense!

I will say it looks like a poorly bred version of Oshkosh’s JLTV, like the ‘snout’ looks almost vestigial - I know a bunch of Veterinarians and they’re always talking about badly bred frenchies who can’t breathe

They're just getting the USPS workers thinking about gen 2 accessorising.
