The Directorate of Contracting (DOC), Fort Campbell, KY, has a requirement for repair of Trailers with ECUs (Environmental Control Units) and Generators manufactured by DHS Systems. This equipment was returned from Iraq recently and requires maintenance, repairs, and replacement of missing items. Equipment must be repaired to 10/20 standa rds. There are eleven (11) trailers with generators and ECUs to be repaired. The procurement will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The Agency intends to enter into a firm-fixed-price, supply-type contract with DHS Systems located in Orangeburg, NY. The basis for restricting competition is that DHS Systems manufactured the original equipment and is believed to be the only source who can manufacture the re placement parts to be compatible with the original products. Further, there would be duplicative cost to the Government to utilize another source to satisfy the Governments requirement. NAICS code for this procurement is 335312 and the small business si ze standard is 1000 employees. This sole source requirement will be procured under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other Than Full and Open Competition, and awarded on an unrestricted basis.
