About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the repair of a Ford F550 fire engine for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) at the Desert National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada.
The USFWS requires the engine to be repaired quickly, as it is a key piece of equipment for the fire management program. Rush Truck Center is identified as the only local vendor with certified Ford ASE mechanics capable of completing the engine replacement within the required timeframe. The vendor has already begun troubleshooting the engine and provided a fixed-price quote of $180 per hour, which is lower than other area repair shops. The USFWS intends to award a sole-source contract to Rush Truck Center for the engine replacement, with a period of performance from September 20, 2024 to November 1, 2024. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 811111, Automotive Repair and Maintenance.
