R-POD Brand Name or Equal

This requirement is for two (2) R-POD 171 units and two (2) R-POD 180 units or EQUAL. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, supervision, and services necessary to perform delivery of recreational trailers to Joint Base Andrews (JBA). The mandatory sources listed in AFMAN 64-302 - 6.3. NAF Sources of Supply were researched and were determined to be unable to fulfill this requirement. A sources sought was posted on GSA, with a sole respondent, which “no quoted” the requirement. Additional market research submitted by the 316th FSS/FSR Outdoor Recreation/Fam-Camp identified three (3) vendors that would be able to fulfill the requirement with four (4) like or identical to those manufactured by Forest River recreational trailers. After extensive market research performed other sources could not provide any units until 2 QTR of FY2022. ONLY Bay RV was able to provide FOUR (4), of the requested units, within 14 days ARO.

This equipment has not been previously purchased by the 316th FSS/FSR Outdoor Recreation/Fam-Camp. Market research has determined that these items are highly desirable by the public, and the government has little to no influence over sales of these units. Forest River is the sole proprietary manufacture and maintains production over these and other camping trailers and delegates sales of these units to their regional dealers. Although these units are mass produced, production for FY2021, has ceased, no units remain in the manufactures stock, and any remaining stock has been distributed to regional dealers.

Awarded contract FA286021P0021 to BAY RV CENTER LLC for 87265.00 on 2021-06-28.
