PURPOSE

It is Oshkosh Corporation's policy that the Global Procurement & Supply Chain (GPSC) Department, acting under the direction of the Executive Vice President and Chief Procurement Officer (CPO), shall conduct all buying negotiations for Oshkosh Corporation and determine source of supply.

RESPONSIBILITY

The responsibilities of GPSC at the segment and corporate level within Oshkosh Corporation are to conduct business transactions consistent with The Oshkosh Way (our Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct) and that will support the following four (4) priorities:

1. DELIVERY/SUPPLY CHAIN 2. QUALITY/LAUNCH 3. NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT (NPD) 4. COMPETITIVENESS

SCOPE

GPSC shall strive to maintain the continuous supply of goods and services necessary to support research, development, production schedules and aftermarket requirements, at all times and under all conditions. GPSC shall protect Oshkosh Corporation's interests while seeking to maintain mutually profitable supplier relationships.

POLICY

GPSC personnel have the responsibility for procurement of all goods and services necessary to support the Corporation in its entirety. These decisions will be made in conjunction with other departments as appropriate.

GPSC is responsible for initiating and maintaining effective and professional relationships with our supply base and will serve as the primary channel through which all procurement requirements are handled.

If a supplier's representative calls upon individuals outside of the GPSC Department, it is the Oshkosh employee's duty to direct them to the appropriate individual within GPSC.

GPSC will seek to obtain and purchase all goods at their lowest possible total end-use cost, considering the guidelines of our four priorities.

GPSC will advise management of economic conditions, quality issues and supply base changes significant to Oshkosh Corporation's long- and short-term interests, production and operations.

PLACING AND ISSUING PURCHASE ORDERS

Every purchase order involves a commitment for the expenditure of Oshkosh Corporation's money. To protect Oshkosh Corporation's interests, a record is required of each transaction showing the obligation of both buyer and seller and the final performance of those obligations. To fulfill the GPSC Department's responsibility for these commitments and records it shall be Oshkosh Corporation's policy that:

o Unless specifically delegated by the GPSC Department, negotiations with suppliers regarding specifications, prices, contracts, terms, etc., shall be conducted by the GPSC Department. The GPSC Department, at each segment, has the prime responsibility for delivery and schedule adjustments to the purchase orders.

o Negotiations leading up to, or likely to conclude in purchase arrangements, shall not be undertaken without the knowledge and consent of the GPSC Department.

o No one, who is a member of the GPSC Department, shall commit to any supplier regarding preference for any product or source of supply for a product or disclose information regarding price, performance or quality of competing products to any persons outside Oshkosh Corporation.

RELATIONS WITH SUPPLIERS

It is the policy of Oshkosh Corporation to maintain and practice the highest possible standards of business ethics and professional courtesy and competence in all of its dealings. At all times, applicable laws must be observed. In this regard, the following should be observed when dealing with suppliers and their representatives.

o Oshkosh Corporation has a certified supplier profile program and emphasizes the use of these suppliers on all current and new projects.

o Guarantee the confidentiality of all specifications and price quotations made by suppliers.
