Description
The 144th Fighter Wing (144 FW) intends to issue a sole-source award for the replacement of two diesel long block engines on Ford F-550 rapid intervention vehicles (RIV) utilized by the base Fire Department. The intricate nature of a long block engine replacement requires Ford-trained technicians and specialized diagnostic equipment, ensuring the engine is correctly installed and calibrated to the vehicle's specific systems, which are readily available at Ford dealerships. Selecting the dealership guarantees a comprehensive warranty on both the new engine and the installation labor, offering a safety net against unforeseen issues that independent shops may not match. Opting for alternative, non-authorized services for such a critical repair could result in voided parts warranties and lack of recourse for faulty workmanship, ultimately jeopardizing the engine's performance and longevity compared to the dealership's guaranteed service.
Authorized Ford dealerships possess OEM certified technicians trained specifically on Ford diesel engines, drivetrains, and proprietary systems used in the F-550. Ford dealerships have direct access to original Ford parts, which are required to maintain the vehicle-s warranty and ensure compatibility and safety. Vehicle systems require Ford proprietary diagnostic software and tools that are only available at certified dealerships. The Ford F-550s are critical to mission support and must be repaired promptly to maintain operational readiness. These vehicles are utilized as rapid intervention vehicles utilized by the 144 Fire Department as first responders in emergency situations.
Market research was conducted reviewing NAICS code 811111 for small business in the central California regional area. No other registered vehicle repair facilities could accommodate these repairs. Future Ford was verified as a small business in SAM.gov and was capable of completing all repairs within a reasonable transportation distance. ...
