    This Performance Work Statement (PWS) delineates the requirements for a contract to provide preventative maintenance and on-site repairs for Hanel Lean-Lift Storage Systems at the Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD). The contractor is responsible for all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, and materials to conduct semi-annual maintenance and repairs on the systems utilized in aircraft production. The contract spans one base year and three option years, emphasizing the need to minimize production downtime. Contractor personnel must have appropriate technical skills and comply with quality control measures outlined in the Quality Control Program, ensuring services meet established performance standards.

    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.

Market research reiterated Minor Corporation's unique qualifications, finding no alternative sources with the required expertise.
