About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract for 32 units of 2024 Type 3 Fire Engine, Model 326/346 Apparatus Body Only. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price sole source contract to HME, Inc., a small business, to provide and install the fire engine bodies on government-furnished 4x4 cab and chassis per Forest Service specifications dated March 2023. The contract will also include operational training and delivery to locations in CA, WA, and OR. The justification states that HME, Inc. is the only responsible source that can fulfill the agency's requirements, which are based on the detailed Forest Service specifications. The contract is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. This J&A precludes the use of full and open competition.
