This equipment will fulfill the requirements for tactical transportation of CN forces in support of selected partner nations teaming with the United States in CN activities. This contract will predominantly provide support in USSOUTHCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) (which includes Central America, South America and the Caribbean nations). Additionally, this contract may also be used by other combatant commands, outside the SOUTHCOM AOR, to fulfill requirements for Jeep J8 tactical vehicles and related equipment support for other federal agencies, Partner Nation (PN), and state and local authorities with CN missions and authorities similar to USSOUTHCOM.

3. The Jeep J8 is the standard tactical vehicle employed by all USSOUTHCOM partner nations. This effort is to procure a brand name item and no other supplies or services will provide satisfactory or cost efficient substitution. The acquisition will be conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(c). The justification and approval was approved on 4 April 2016 for this brand name requirement.

6. Place of Performance. Performance under this contract will be outside of the contiguous United States (OCONUS).

7. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 336992, Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing, with size standard of 1,500 employees. The selected NAICS of 336992 most appropriately defines this requirement.

8. In order to be eligible for award, firms must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on registration in the SAM database by accessing the Internet at http://www.sam.gov. A formal Request for Quote (RFQ) will be issued.
