About this file

This file is a sole source justification letter and parts quote from Aspen Aerials, Inc., a bridge inspection equipment manufacturer, to the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) District II in Batesville. The correspondence establishes Aspen Aerials as the exclusive service provider for their vehicle-mounted bridge inspection units, covering inspections, service, repairs, parts, rebuilds, and training. The company emphasizes that their equipment is manufactured in compliance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A92 Standards and that all maintenance and repairs must adhere to these specifications to ensure proper operation of the unit's safety interlock system. Aspen Aerials conducts mandatory annual inspections in accordance with current ANSI requirements and manufacturer testing protocols to certify safe equipment operation. The quote provided (Quote Number 21658) lists replacement parts including a leveling tube weldment, bearing, nylock jam nut, and switch lever with roller.

The document substantiates the sole source justification by asserting that Aspen Aerials does not certify work performed by other companies on their equipment, does not utilize dealer networks, does not authorize third-party operator or mechanic training, and exclusively manufactures and supplies proprietary parts engineered specifically for their equipment. The company maintains that ANSI standards require all individuals operating or maintaining bridge inspection devices receive training from authorized sources, which Aspen Aerials provides through their own training programs. This sole source arrangement ensures compliance with safety standards and equipment integrity for MDOT's District II operations in Batesville.
