Service required: Repairs to Class A fire training facility burn chamber.

Estimated Cost: $47,500.

Required Delivery Date: 60 days after contract award.

4. Specific characteristics of the service that limit the availability to a sole source.

The repairs to be made need to be warranted for a period of no less than 20 years. Fire Training Structures is the manufacturer of the training facility at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center.

Work performed by an entity other than the manufacturer will not be warranted. Additionally, material used by others may not be compatible and may compromise the integrity of the training facility, thus endangering the lives of fire department personnel. For these reasons, it has been determined that Fire Training Structures is the only contractor available to make the necessary repairs to the training facility.

5. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed.

A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data are described as follows:

These are “direct replacement” parts/components for existing equipment.
