25 -- A/C Kits (M1113) for HMMWVs

The Special Operations Forces Support Activity (SOFSA) in Lexington, KY, plans to award a sole source contract to Armor Holdings Survivability Systems for the procurement of Phase II Air Conditioning with Chiller Vests and A/C Compressors specifically designed for the M1113 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). The contract will utilize simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items under FAR Part 12. Armor Holdings Survivability Systems is recognized as the sole developer of these essential A/C components, making them the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which permits non-competitive contracts when no other suppliers or services can fulfill the need. The contract, titled "25 -- A/C Kits (M1113) for HMMWVs," aligns with the NAICS code 336322 and falls under the Department of Defense's PEO-SOFSA office. It was posted on August 27, 2007, and specifies the procurement location as Lexington, KY. This action supports the continued operational requirements of SOF vehicles by ensuring they are equipped with critical climate control systems to maintain functionality and comfort in various operational environments.
