About this file
This is a Justification Review Document for Other than Full and Open Competition issued by the National Guard Bureau on September 23, 2025. The document justifies a sole-source contract for ENGINE REBUILD services for an R11 Refueler vehicle operated by the 152 Mission Support Group Contracting office.
The requirement addresses engine rebuild services due to multiple failed cylinders leaking coolant into the engine requiring replacement. The refueler fleet consists of three vehicles, with one currently non-mission capable due to the failed engine, reducing available refueler capacity by 33% and directly impacting operational readiness. McCandless is identified as the only certified maintenance company capable of performing this work locally and specializing in R11 Refueler trucks. The contracting activity is justifying a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements) citing the urgency of the requirement and necessity for expedited repair. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price new contract using O&M Air funds, with a local control number of ANG26-006. The Technical Representative (VM Superintendent) certified the justification on January 15, 2026, and the Contracting Officer approved it on May 14, 2026, determining the anticipated cost to the government will be Fair and Reasonable. While no posting requirements are mandated due to urgency, the document indicates a Request for Quote will be posted to the Government point of entry, and market research suggests a formal solicitation would attract multiple interested sources if time permitted for future similar maintenance requirements.

R11 REFUELER IS UNABLE TO OPERATE WITHOUT THIS SERVICE.

THIS REDUCES AVAILABLE REFUELER CAPACITY BY 33%, DIRECTLY IMPACTING OPERATIONAL READINESS AND THE UNIT’S ABILITY TO MEET MISSION REQUIREMENTS. MCCANDLESS IS THE ONLY CERTIFIED MAINTANANCE COMPANY THAT CAN PERFORM THIS WORK LOCALLY AND WORKSS SPECIFICALLY WITH R-11 REFUELER TRUCKS.
