sidered a qualified source, vendors were required to acquire a Source Approval Request (SAR). The MAAS (NSN: 1710-01-549-9539) is a unique, military deployable asset developed as an expeditionary aircraft recovery system, which can be quickly set up and used to recover tactical aircraft at damaged runways or at installations where primary arresting systems are not in operation. The MAAS consists of two identical mobile units. Each unit houses one Barrier Arresting Kit (BAK)-12 rotary friction energy absorber. The mobile units (i.e. trailers) contain all the basic components of a fixed base arresting system and all the tools and hardware necessary for installation and removal. These units are capable of being transported over land, by sea and through the air. This acquisition was a competitive, total small business set-aside utilizing trade-off source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-2 and 15.3 as supplemented by the DoD Source Selection Procedures (Aug 2022) referenced in DFARS 215.300 and the DAFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3 to make an integrated assessment for a best value award decision. Tradeoffs may have been made between past performance and cost/price, with past performance being considered significantly more important than cost/price. The place of performance for this contract will be at Hydraulics International Inc., Chatsworth, CA.
