About this file
This is a Limited Sources Justification document (LS2026-7) dated February 10, 2026, submitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), SPN Contracting Officer, to approve a firm fixed price contract for main engine maintenance services.
The contract is for maintenance of two ACERT C-32 Caterpillar marine engines on the M/V John A.B Dillard Jr. The justification establishes that Peterson CAT is the only available source capable of providing the required services. The basis for single-source procurement centers on Peterson CAT being the only local Caterpillar dealer and service provider with certified Caterpillar Marine Technicians capable of maintaining this specific vessel. The justification notes that while other local vendors can perform some engine maintenance, they cannot access the electrical components or provide the full 3,000 hours of maintenance required due to the equipment's complexity. An official CAT dealer is required to ensure proper fit and quality of parts, as incorrect diagnostics or parts could compromise the vessel's structural integrity and safety. The Contracting Officer, Nairi Freeman, approved the justification subject to availability of funds and prior authorization for acquisition. Fair and reasonableness of pricing was determined through price analysis of similar commercial services. Pierce A. Forgione, Drift Collection Worker Leader, provided technical certification of the supporting data.
