A03-(Signed)_Justification for OTFOC _Talbert 35CC_Lowboy Trailer_12330161_20250903 ( Final )_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for simplified acquisitions valued below $250,000, specifically for a brand name specification procurement. The U.S. Army Environmental Command requires the procurement of one Talbert 35CC LowBoy Trailer for critical mission-support equipment for the Analytical & Remediation Activity (CARA)-Risk Reduction Effort (RRE) Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Section, with a total estimated value of $96,479.00 for fiscal years 2024-2028.

The procurement is for a specific Talbert 35CC Low Boy Trailer, which is the only trailer that meets the specialized technical requirements for heavy equipment transportation for the mission-critical munitions remediation project. Market research confirmed no viable commercial off-the-shelf alternatives exist, and the trailer is proprietary to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The acquisition will be a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order set aside 100% for small business, with Talbert Manufacturing Inc. as the sole source. The justification emphasizes the trailer's unique capabilities in supporting critical environmental remediation work and meets specific requirements outlined in the 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNE) Command Directive.
