This is a single source commercial requirement. The contractor shall provide all equipment, tools, materials, transportation, and services necessary to troubleshoot and repair the Tube Bender for the 402nd Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG) Robins AFB, GA. The Tube Bender requires a one-time OEM service to troubleshoot and repair the issues. The estimated cost is

Previous contract: FA857123P0101; sole source to OEM; Contract Value:

The service for the basic period shall be performed within thirty (30) days after receipt of order (ARO)

Need date: 10/31/2024

PoP: 10/31/2024 to 03/31/2025

This is an urgent, sole source, commercial requirement. Numalliance Group, Inc is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole provider of services for the Eaton Leonard Tube Bender service and repair.

This is an OEM repair service to troubleshoot and repair the issues preventing one of our Tube Benders from running. Numalliance Group, Inc is the OEM for the machine that we are trying to have serviced. The repair is needed to bring one of our tube benders back into operational capacity.

This involves urgent and compelling circumstances. Due to the circumstances described herein, the activity requests authority to acquire Tube Bender Repair Service using Other Than Full and Open Competition (OTF&OC) prescribed by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). To change contractors at this point will cause duplication of effort and cost of over $100,00.00 to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and will cause unacceptable delays critical to continued support of the 402 CMXG. Secondly, the Government do not have the capabilities to perform the required repairs and services.

Therefore, the OEM, would be the only one to adequately troubleshoot the issues and repair them in a timely and sufficient manner. The OEM letter provided by Numalliance Group states that they are the OEM sole provider for repair services for the Tuber Bender (see attached OEM Verification Email).

List Company Name: Numalliance Group, Inc.
