5. Reason for Authority Cited:

a. The Vietnam Defense Expo will take place from 19-22 DEC 2024 at the Gia Lam Airport in Hanoi. This event is a high priority for the US Ambassador to Vietnam. The presence of Army equipment and a U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) General Officer demonstrates strong U.S. commitment to advancing military-to-military engagements with Vietnam’s Ministry of Defense (MOD).

b. On 3 December 2024, the contracting office was informed that GAET is the sole vendor designated as a member of the Organizing Committee and the exclusive Freight Supervisor for the Vietnam International Defense Expo 2024. This designation was made under the General Department of Defense Industry of Vietnam and the Vietnam Ministry of Defense (MOD).

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition:

a. From 11 November to 18 November 2024, the Regional Contracting Office in Daegu conducted a solicitation for transportation and material-handling equipment (MHE) support for the movement of equipment from the seaport to Gia Lam Airport. Four offerors expressed their ability to support this requirement during the solicitation period.

b. From 3 December to 5 December 2024, the contracting office engaged with GAET to explore the possibility of other companies supporting the equipment movement. GAET clarified that, due to the need for special licensing from relevant authorities for all equipment and a complex approval process, only GAET is authorized and capable of providing the required support for the Expo.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: Regional Contracting Office Daegu will continually engage with industry to allow for full and open competition.

8. Market Research: Market research was conducted based on using WEXMAC web application. However, Per Vietnam MOD guideline, GAET only one source to support this requirement.
