The Army hopes to accelerate JLTV development, as prescribed by John Young, acting Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology, who issued a Sept. 19 directive to institute prototyping earlier in the procurement process.Eighteen manufacturers responded to the Army’s invitation to send concept vehicles and prototypes, including General Tactical Vehicles, Hadas, Intermap Technologies, Lockheed Martin, Magna Powertrain, Mistral, ODF Optronics, Oshkosh Truck, Partsmaster, Precision Remotes, Remote Reality, Reynolds Fasteners, Robertson Aviation, Rockwell Collins, Tai, Tesla Industries and VSE.

That's a long list, and I see no obvious sign of involvement at this stage by BAE Systems, Force Protection Inc. or Protected Vehicles Inc.
The two latter companies have produced prototypes that have been suggested as Hummvee replacements.
It may be that some of the companies listed above reflect partnerships involving one or more of the missing names.
