This is a Justification Review Document for a single source determination issued by the National Guard Bureau for a contract action at Fort Lewis, Washington.

The National Guard Bureau is seeking to procure repair services for a 165 VMS - Blaze 26 Fire Truck Engine through a sole source contract with an Individual Basis. The requirement involves replacing the gear box between the engine and transmission, flushing the hydraulic system, changing filters, replacing cores, and replacing the power divider. The contract will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price, O&M Air fund type, and is classified as a New Contract. The contracting activity is 165 MSC with the requiring activity as 165 LRS, and the point of contact is Capt Latrise J. Lowe. The authority for sole source procurement is cited under 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), justified on the basis of preventing further delay in mission-critical life safety equipment. The 165 AW Fire Department services and a downed fire truck represent a critical shortfall in emergency operations. The contract has not been previously procured, and no synopsis will be posted per IAW FAR 5.202(a)(13)(i). The document was prepared by Contracting Officer Justin K. Smith and technically reviewed by MSgt Joseph O. Strother, with final approval dated April 27, 2026.
