Limited Competition Justification (Redacted) 1_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a sole-source procurement by the National Guard Bureau (NGB) for generator repair services. The contracting activity is USPFO for Tennessee Purchasing and the Combined Support Naumburg Shop (CSMS), with an estimated price of $8,812.14 for a new firm fixed-price contract under O&M Army funding.

The requirement involves furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and contract administration to repair three generators as specified in a Performance Work Statement. The justification for sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) is based on the principle that standard and prudent practice within the industrial equipment industry requires maintenance and repair work under an active maintenance contract to be performed by the contract holder. The incumbent service provider, OTC Industrial Technologies, currently holds the contract for the specific Ingersol Rand generators requiring repair. The justification states that allowing a third-party contractor to perform the work would void the expectation that the current contractor would warranty or stand behind work done by another contractor, creating unacceptable operational risk and financial injury to the government. The technical representative is SSG Michael O'Connell, and the contracting officer is Samuel K. Beard, with certification dated March 23, 2026.
