A.02.05 KO Determination - Limiting Competition under SAT _Redacted.pdf

This is a Contracting Officer's Determination document justifying limited competition below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the repair of a Trimble SX12 equipment unit for the USACE Huntington District's Geospatial Section. The requirement is for repair services of damaged parts on the SX12 unit, which is one of three similar units used for collecting quality survey data.

The contract will be awarded as a fixed-price purchase order to Precision Laser & Instrument, Inc. in Cross Lanes, WV, with a 60-day performance period in FY2025. The justification cites that Precision Laser is the only certified Trimble Authorized Dealer within 100 miles of the Huntington District Office and maintains a co-located certified Trimble repair facility. Market research confirmed no other repair facilities within 100 miles could complete the repairs. The proximity requirement is important due to the sensitive nature of the equipment and need to minimize risk during transport. Not repairing the system would hinder operations and require purchasing a new unit at increased cost to the district, which supports the Huntington District WFO mission covering fourteen districts over the past seven years.
