7. Market Research:

In February 2020 Mr. James Spurgeon, Industrial Specialist, Corpus Christi Army Depot contacted several organizations to determine of other sources were able to provide maintenance on the EB welder G9458. None of them are able to perform the required services due to the fact that PTR Precision Technologies is the original manufacturer of the G9458 EB welder and they have exclusive license for providing maintenance support and repairs.

Mr. Tilson Dyer, Contract Specialist GS-11, conducted internet research on 02/12/2021 and discovered that PTR Precision Technologies provide support services commercially for all the welders that they manufacture. He also found that preventive maintenance services were provided to the United States Army and other federal organizations on several occasions. All historical contracts for EB Welder G9458 maintenance services were awarded to PTR Precision Technologies.

8. Other Facts:

The following are previous awards for similar services:
