ARI-Hetra Repairs FY26

The contract award sole source to Ari Phoenix Inc. under solicitation W9136426PA056 is for repairs and maintenance of ARI-HETRA Mobile Column Lift Systems at the Columbus, Ohio facility during Fiscal Year 2026, with an estimated total value of $46,129.50. The procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to warranty restrictions mandating that only authorized service personnel from ARI Phoenix Inc.—the manufacturer’s designated representative—may perform repairs, as use of any other provider would void the equipment’s five-year warranty. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price agreement and falls under a Total Small Business Set-Aside as defined by FAR 19.5, with the NAICS code 811310 indicating repair and maintenance services. All work must strictly comply with the ARI-HETRA Operation & Service Instructions manual, utilizing only genuine manufacturer parts and qualified technicians to ensure system integrity and warranty compliance. Performance is limited to the Columbus, Ohio location, where inspections and acceptance are conducted on-site by the government, with no alternative sources permitted. No formal pricing breakdown, CLINs, or detailed delivery schedules are provided, and key administrative roles such as the Contracting Officer, COR, or COTR are not identified, though CPT Christopher Alkire is listed as the requirements representative. Packaging, preservation, and labeling requirements are not specified, although adherence to manufacturer guidelines implies proper handling practices. The contract includes no option periods, security clearance requirements, or organizational conflict of interest provisions, and while supporting documents like the manufacturer's technical manual and prior purchase order W91364-20-F-0181 are referenced, they are not formally itemized as attachments. The procurement is non-competitive, with no evaluation factors applied, and relies entirely on warranty exclusivity as the basis for award.
