The engineer searched the Central Contractor Registration, Small Business Dynamic Search, and searched within government databases (0200, SMART PIDS, PRPS). Additional correspondence was held with the OEM to insure their repair capability. No other companies were listed as an approved source of repair for the MT2I and there are no potential contract vehicles that already exist.
