(See Performance Work Statement for full details)

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

This is a sole source commercial requirement.

The ventilation system is an intricate part to the anodizing and plating processes. It is a system that most often goes unseen. However, when it comes to worker safety and health the operation of this system is critical. The overall functionality is to pull the vapors or mist from the chemical tanks into the duct work to acid scrubbers for removal.

Without a functioning ventilation system in the plating facility, the workers' health is compromised. The vapors can cause sickness, illness, cancer, or even death. If the ventilation system begins to under perform, Bio-Environmental can shut the line down. Approximately 45% of AMFF production would be affected. Since, this equipment was manufactured and installed by the OEM and they do not allow any other company to perform maintenance on their system (see OEM email).

OEM:

Vanegas Enterprises, Inc Vanaire (a division of Vanegas Enterprises, Inc) Address: 10151 Bunsen Way, Louisville, KY. 40299 Point of Contact: Kurt Jones Email: kjvanaire@aol.com Phone Number: 828-429-4229 Cage Code: 1RZE9 Type Business: Large

No previous history on this type of repair but an AMFF ventilation inspection was completed under FA8571-21-P-0083.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Circulation Equipment) and keyword(s) (ventilation) looking for companies that could provide this requirement. A review of small businesses to include 8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, and Women Owned Small Business was conducted in search of a company that could provide this service. This query resulted in 266 small businesses (see attached DSBS Query) but none are capable due to Vanegas Enterprises, Inc being the OEM and not authoring any other vendor to repair their systems. In addition, GSA was also queried for any source that could provide the AMFF ventilation repair. No GSA schedules apply for this service. No mandatory sources such as Ability One were considered but did not meet this requirements.

Recommendation to award as a sole source requirement to Vanegas Enterprises, Inc.

Primary NAICS: 238220, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Air Circulation Equipment

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards
