CMO Control Number: 2020-085

b. Subcontracting Competition: The contractor will be encouraged to use small and disadvantaged businesses to the maximum extent practical for this action. The contract will contain FAR clause 52.244-5 “Competition in Subcontracting”, which will require the prime contractor to competitively select subcontractors to the maximum extent possible.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: Pursuant to FAR 12.6, this proposed contract action will be posted in Beta.Sam.gov as a combine synopsis/solicitation. The long term plan is for TACOM to procure the next generation MTRCS which is anticipated to initiate fielding in 1st quarter FY23. The current systems will be phased out in the future; however, a new contract for the current diesel engine is critical to support the current fleet until such time.

8. Market Research: The contract specialist posted a Sources Sought Notice, which had a market survey attached, on beta.SAM.gov on 18 June 2020, it closed on 25 June 2020. This survey is used to determine if the item is commercially available or has a commercial equivalent, provides contractor information such as CAGE codes, address, business type, and contact information, and estimated unit prices for the item. There was one response received, from JKC Enterprises East (Cage 8KP92). According to Carrier Transicold’s list of authorized dealers located at https://locator.ttdealers.carrier.com/, JKC Enterprises East, is not an authorized dealer, as they are not listed. The contract specialist also sent a market survey to Carrier Corporation, and authorized dealers Penn Power Group and W.W. Williams Midwest, Inc. on 05 March 2020. A response was received from each, containing the requested information stated above.

In addition, an extensive internet search was performed by the Requirements Office in December 2019. According to websites WBParts.com, NSN-NOW.COM, and ISO- GROUP.COM, this NSN has only one active supplier, which is Carrier Corporation, and the Government does not have in its possession the necessary Technical Data sufficient to enable a competitive acquisition. The diesel engine is the only item that satisfies Government requirements, and Penn Power Group and W.W. Williams, Inc., are the only distributors authorized to sell within the state of Pennsylvania, their respective Primary Area of Responsibility.

9. Interested Sources: Other than the response received to the Sources Sought Notice from JKC Enterprises East, as well as Carrier Corporation’s authorized distributors Penn Power Group and W.W. Williams Midwest, Inc., no other sources have written to express an interest in the acquisition.
