About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for limiting competition below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for annual maintenance of Struers laboratory equipment at the Army Contracting Command - Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) in Corpus Christi, Texas. The document justifies sole source procurement from Struers LLC for maintenance of their proprietary lab equipment used for analyzing material components prior to final assembly of rotary aircraft.
The contract is a firm-fixed-price purchase order with a base period and two option periods running from December 4, 2024 to December 3, 2025. The equipment covered includes several Struers machines (Exotom-150, Tegramin-30, Accutom-5, Citopress-20, and mounting units) with specific serial numbers under Prevent Plus Plans. Struers LLC is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer with proprietary rights to software, hardware design, and technical manuals, making them the only source capable of providing the required maintenance. The justification notes that failure to maintain this equipment would result in mission failure, and market research confirmed no other sources can perform the preventative maintenance on this specialized laboratory equipment.
