AI Contract Overview

The contract involves providing quarterly and annual preventative maintenance and inspection services for critical emergency power equipment managed by the Joint Enabling Capabilities Command (JECC) at building X-132 on the Naval Station in Norfolk, Virginia. The service covers a Caterpillar 800-kilowatt engine/generator, an Automatic Transfer Switch (ASCO 7000 series), and a 300kVA Caterpillar UPS unit, all essential components to ensure reliable backup power capabilities. Due to the proprietary nature of the Caterpillar systems and their integral role in maintaining mission-critical power backup in a region prone to environmental and power consumption challenges, maintenance must be performed by an authorized provider. Carter Machinery Company, Incorporated, is the sole authorized Caterpillar dealer within the Hampton Roads area capable of servicing these systems. Their proximity—less than six miles away—ensures timely emergency response and maintenance, a crucial factor given the requirement to restore power services within a four-hour window during catastrophic events. Other authorized dealers are located significantly farther away, with travel times extending beyond what is deemed acceptable for urgent service needs. This geographic exclusivity, combined with Carter Machinery’s authorization, underpins the sole-source nature of this contract for the Department of Defense. The contract was posted in December 2020 under solicitation number HTC711-21-Q-D005, with the Department of Defense overseeing the acquisition through Ustranscom-aq office in Scott Air Force Base, Illinois.
