    Justification and Approval - Redaction.pdf
    The US Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) plans to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Edwards Design and Fabrication Incorporated (EDFI) for up to 130 sets of expedient pier repair and off-loading ramp kits. This $10.3 million, five-year contract, funded by FY2022 and FY2023 RDT&E and OPA funds, supports United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDO-PACOM) and United States European Command (USEUCOM) operational needs. EDFI has been the sole source for these kits since 2016, developing modifications that enhance constructability and adaptability. The justification for a sole-source award, under FAR 6.302-1, is due to EDFI's unique expertise, proprietary manufacturing processes, and the significant delays (up to 30 months) and cost duplication that would result from qualifying another source. Market research confirmed EDFI as the only capable vendor. The government lacks a complete technical data package for competitive bidding. Efforts to increase future competition are ongoing through market surveys and industry engagements.
