the construction of a K-Span building. The UBM and required materials are manufactured by a sole-source, M.I.C.

Industries. Utilizing M.I.C. Industries is preferable because materials are guaranteed to be compatible with the UBM and arrive customized to the exact specifications of the engineered design.

_4_ UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THA_fxPS18NzthbsRqqrY5h47Q: M.I.C. Industries and the utilizing of the "Ultimate Building Machine" (UBM) is a core competency of RED HORSE organizations. To validate our training, 219 RHS must utilize material and equipment that will be provided in a deployed environment, therefore producing a sole source request. To construct K-Span steel buildings, RED HORSE uses the "Ultimate Building Machine" (UBM), a steel-bending factory-on-wheels capable of transforming rolled flat steel into the required structural shape. K-Span projects can be conceptualized as machine+materials; and the roll up doors, personnel doors, louvers and fans are apart of the materials portion. Another large portion of the materials is the rolled steel which is provided by the 219 RHS for project training.
