General Information
 
Solicitation Title:  Aftermarket Parts- Secondary
Agency:  Department of General Services
Existing Contract Number:  4400014636 
Proposed Solicitation Date:  02-11-21
Contract Expiration Date:  12/31/20
Proposed Method of Procurement:  
Description:  This is for the aftermarket parts contract to be the secondary supplier. This supplier is to be used if the primary can not meet the 24 hour timeframe for delivery.

1. On March 19, 2020, the Governor’s Office issued a General Purchasing Ban to limit spending of goods or services that are not critical to operations.  The issuing agency has determined through its internal approval processes that this solicitation is absolutely critical to operations and does not violate the Governor’s General Purchasing Ban. Additionally, the issuing agency conducted due diligence via positive vendor affirmation that there is sufficient competition due to the prevalence of telework allowing a preponderance of suppliers to have access to respond to the solicitation. The Commonwealth’s electronic bidding systems can be accessed via teleworking by the Commonwealth and suppliers due to the phased reopening of counties across the Commonwealth.

I support the need for continuous availability of aftermarket parts to support multiple agency
vehicular missions.
Regards,
Ken
