    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is seeking to contract with Cummins Inc. for the repair of a Cummins engine in a 2006 International 5500 tractor, currently disassembled at their facility in Sumner, Washington.

This contract is critical for maintaining operational readiness and efficiency, with a total contract value of $11,865.17 and an award date set for September 16, 2024. For further inquiries, interested parties may contact Mikeeli C. Hanson at mikeeli.hanson.1@us.af.mil or 509-247-2236, or Kathleen L. Rauch at kathleen.rauch@us.af.mil or 509-247-4865.

    The document outlines a single source justification for contracting with Cummins Inc. for the repair of a Cummins engine in a 2006 International 5500 tractor, currently disassembled at their facility. Initially estimated to be under $10,000, further inspection revealed more extensive damage, necessitating a formal contract for repairs. The 336 TRSS unit determined that only Cummins could complete the necessary work without incurring additional costs from reassembling and transporting the equipment. Efforts to seek other competitive bids were hindered by the lack of other qualified Cummins service centers nearby. To prevent future sole-source contracts, the document suggests improved communication with service providers and the consideration of separating diagnosis and work into distinct requirements. The contracting officer, Brian M. Fernandez, confirms that only Cummins is suitable for this specific repair under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), justifying the single source acquisition. This summary illustrates the procurement's focus on efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and minimizing disruption to operational readiness by selecting a specialized service provider.
