Advanced Medium Mobile Power Sources Sole Source under Urgent and Compelling

The United States Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency needs. In Accordance with FAR 6.302-2(a)(2) the agency’s needs for the supplies is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Cummins Power Generators Inc., 1400 73rd Avenue NE, Minneapolis, MN 55432-3702, to provide Advanced Medium Mobile Power Source (AMMPS) Generators. This will be a modification to the existing Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract W909MY-18-D-0033, resulting in an increase to ceiling and an extension to the Period of Performance. An ongoing RFP is posted under W909MY-22-R-0015 for a new IDIQ contract, Full and Open. The AMMPS Generator Sets are

specialized, medium-sized Jet Propellant 8 (JP-8) fueled generators, used to supply electricity to military systems away from fixed electrical power sources. The generators are specialized pieces of equipment due to the environmental conditions they must operate in and the weapon systems they power. The AMMPS Generator Sets are utilized by the Army and other DoD Services in support of national security objectives and to enhance the operational capability of the Warfighter. These Generator Sets power and/or are incorporated into digital systems across the Army Portfolio to include Network/C3I, Air and Missile Defense, Long Range Precision Fires, Command Post and Combat Support/Combat Service Support Systems. The AMMPS consists of five (5) developed and fielded generator sets from 5 to 60-kilowatt (kW) in size and capable of operating in two (2) frequency ratings 50/60 and 400 Hz. The AMMPS system is inclusive of associated interface kits, switch boxes and trailers. There are 25 configurations of the AMMPS, including Microgrid capability, within the AMMPS family of generators.
