Limited Competition Justification_Cylinder-Hydraulic Repair_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for other than full and open competition from the National Guard Bureau in Arlington, VA for Surface Maintenance Manager (SMM) Cylinder and Hydraulic Repair Services. The document justifies a sole-source award to Ring Power Corporation for hydraulic repair services on 39 Florida Army National Guard vehicles.

The requirement involves four types of repair services: removing/rebuilding/replacing hydraulic cylinders, rebuilding hydraulic cylinders, removing and creating new hydraulic lines/hoses, and removing/replacing lines with government-provided hoses. The justification cites that Ring Power Corporation has already successfully completed two repairs and has demonstrated having the required facilities, materials, equipment, labor and tools in Florida to meet immediate repair needs. A Sources Sought notice received only one responsive vendor from New Jersey, who was deemed unable to mobilize to Florida and establish local relationships. The contract is a new firm-fixed-price award using O&M Army funds, with work needed to prepare vehicles for combat training exercises at the Army's National Training Center in Fort Irwin, CA by July 2025. The authority cited is 41 USC 1901 under FAR 13.501(a) for sole source acquisitions.
