Sole source justification - Gen Repair - Signed.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document submitted by the U.S. Department of State's Office of the Procurement Executive for approval to award a contract on a sole source basis without competitive bidding.

The contracting activity is the Overseas Post in Libreville, Gabon, which requires facility maintenance services. The sole source contractor is Thomson Power Systems - Regal Rexnord Corporation, located at 4916 275 Street, Langley, BC, Canada, V4W 0A3. The estimated contract value is $47,300 for the entire period of performance, including options. The requirement is to provide full automation and repair services for a stand-by power generation system at the U.S. Embassy in Libreville, Gabon. Specifically, the contract calls for OEM-authorized repair and replacement parts, a MOD-KIT "BEST BATTERY," capacitor base DC-DC converter, and on-site technical support from an authorized Thomson Power Systems service representative. The justification for sole sourcing cites urgency as the primary statutory authority under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The contracting officer determined that only Thomson Power Systems possesses the unique qualifications necessary because repair requires proprietary parts, specialized diagnostic tools, manufacturer-certified labor, and system-specific software available only through authorized service providers. The document was signed and certified on 08/14/2026 by Jacques Cedric Massouela M., NEC Maintenance Supervisor, and Nathaniel R. Rudy, General Services Officer.
