A market survey has been performed by the Program Office and a determination was made that Gearhart McKee, Inc. in Johnstown, PA, is the only vendor who re-builds/tests this type breaker due to the age of the equipment and therefore offers the best value to the Government and best meets the specific needs of FEMA.
