This memorandum outlines a justification for limiting competition for a follow-on contract with Minor Corporation for the maintenance and repair of Hanel Lean-Lift Storage Systems at the Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD). The contracting activity is managed by the Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal. The proposed contract involves semi-annual preventative maintenance services and sole sourcing to Minor Corporation, as they possess the necessary proprietary knowledge and technical expertise exclusive to these systems, manufactured by Hanel Storage Systems.
The need for this contract stems from the urgency to maintain operational efficiency and minimize production downtime at CCAD, where these systems are critical for storing equipment used in aircraft part manufacturing. Market research reiterated Minor Corporation's unique qualifications, finding no alternative sources with the required expertise. The justification also cites adherence to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines for sole source purchases below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The contracting officer has certified the necessity of this procurement approach to ensure fair pricing and alignment with government interests.
