Evaluation
This is a sole source procurement, not a competitive solicitation. The Government intends to restrict competition under FAR 12.102(a) for an acquisition valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
Additional Notes
The justification for sole source is based on Southwestern Industries, Inc. being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the exclusive sales and service representative in North America for TRAK Machine Tools and ProtoTRAK systems. The OEM does not open-source its diagnostic software or service codes to unauthorized third-party maintenance companies. Market research confirmed their exclusive status.
