1. The request of an annual equipment inspection of the TMP four post press. Checking all systems mechanical and electrical to ensure the equipment is running properly. Inspections will produce a report on the findings. Remedial action for any issues found during the inspection will be included as well.

2. The TMP four post press uses proprietary software for some calibration and data under their administrative controls. We have previously experienced cailibration issues that required a specific override with an adminstartive password. TMP withholds it manufacturing drawings of this equipment as well.

3. After market research was conducted, it was determined that there is only one company, The

French Oil Mill Machinery Company that can satisfy the Government’s requirement.

A review of small businesses to include 8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, and Women Owned Small Business was conducted in search of a company that could provide Preventive/Remedial Maintenance and Calibration. In review there is one (1) source that can provide this service for this acquisition. Contact with OEM for TMP- Per Jeff Rudy, he stated by telephone that they are the OEM for TMP and they do not use authorized distributors for service.

5. In the future, the Government will continue to conduct market research to determine if The French Oil Mill

Machinery Company has any distributors capable of providing Preventive Maintenance services for the Hydraulic Four Post Press or if they are willing to sell the data rights to the Government.
