43--SPX Power Team Brand Name Sole Source - Justification & Approval for Solicitation Number W912QR-13-T-0036

The government plans to procure hydraulic pumps and rams exclusively from the SPX Power Team brand for use at the Louisville Repair Station in Louisville, Kentucky. This sole source acquisition is necessary to ensure compatibility with the existing equipment, as all current pumps, rams, and repair parts at the facility are manufactured by SPX Power Team. The procurement action is identified under solicitation number W912QR13T0036JA and is justified on the basis of brand name compatibility to maintain operational consistency and efficiency. Interested and responsible suppliers are invited to submit proposals for consideration despite the sole source designation. Proposals must be submitted by 10:00 AM EST on May 7, 2013, to the designated government email. The procurement falls under NAICS code 332912 and is managed by the Department of Defense’s W072 Endist Louisville office. This ensures that the acquisition process, while limited to a specific brand, remains open to all qualified vendors, providing an opportunity for competition compliant with government procurement regulations.
