Notice of Intent to Award Brand-Name-Only Requirement for Altec D3060E Digger Derrick on GSA with Open Market Item

Sierra Nevada Region (SNR) intends to award a brand-name only delivery order on Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) for an Altec D3060E Digger Derrick package with accessories. This purchase will be in accordance with FAR Part 8. The FSS Delivery Order will include the following open market item that represents 11% of the total delivery order value:

Chassis: Current Model Year Custom Kenworth T880 - 6x4 - Reg Cab

In accordance with FAR 8.402(f), it is allowable to add open-market items to an FSS delivery order, provided requirements of the section are met. This is the notice to the GPE for the open market portion that will be included in the FAR Part 8 award.

WAPA SNR requires this Altec brand-specific equipment due to the availability of prompt mechanical service provided by Altec, and interchangeability with existing Altec equipment.

Altec has a full-service center near SNR’s maintenance facilities, and is able to immediately dispatch service to SNR maintenance and field locations. In the case of malfunction of equipment in use during a planned or emergency power line outage, having the manufacturer’s service center nearby is essential. Altec’s immediate service and repair is required in support of SNR’s ability to perform rapid work on the high voltage electrical system and to ensure reliability of the power grid. Also, market research identified this Altec equipment package as having a combination of power and hydraulic features uniquely suited for performing in SNR's rugged terrain.

The associated NAICS code for this procurement is 333120. It is anticipated that a firm fixed price Delivery Order with no option years will be awarded to Altec Industries, Inc., 210 Inverness Center Dr., Birmingham, AL 35242.

A brand-name only RFQ-1698417 was competed on GSA eBuy MAS 3361V. Two capable vendors responded, Altec and Federal Contracts Corp. Altec was selected based on lowest price technically acceptable.

THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. It is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available.
