Purchase Order AG43XUP150008

On July 22, 2015, the Southeast Area civilian agency awarded a purchase order to Sunsouth LLC (Carrollton location) valued at $3,559.80 for labor, parts, materials, and equipment to repair a John Deere Model 3055 tractor. The preliminary inspection identified a leaking master cylinder, defective hydraulic clutch, and worn throw-out bearing requiring professional service. This was designated a sole-source procurement due to the necessity of transporting the tractor to the closest authorized John Deere service facility in Griffin, Georgia. No small business set-aside was applied to this contract.

Sunsouth LLC, an authorized John Deere dealer and agricultural equipment supplier, was selected as the prime contractor under a time-and-materials pricing arrangement, with an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2015. The contract represents routine equipment maintenance and repair services typical of federal agencies managing agricultural machinery. Sunsouth operates as a child entity of its parent company, also named Sunsouth LLC, and has established a track record of federal contracting since 2007, providing equipment and services to both civilian and defense agencies.
