B01_Limiting_Competition_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Market Research (MFR) form for Limiting Competition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) issued by the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal. The document identifies Phillips Corp as the proposed contractor for an Omax equipment quarterly maintenance service contract for 12 months, with a fixed-price pricing structure. The procurement is classified as a new requirement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(x)(1), which allows for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold due to urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization.

The document indicates that this is the only authorized government provider for service on existing equipment, and the action is a brand name restriction over $30K that will be redacted and posted with the solicitation. The contract will be processed through a purchase order, with the contracting activity located in Rock Island, Illinois. The form suggests the procurement is being conducted with specific justification for sole-source procurement based on unique capabilities, brand name requirements, or potential detriments to mission effectiveness if an alternative source is selected.
