Bak-Re-Pair Lands Contract with the Defense Commissary Agency

Bak-Re-Pair, Inc., a woman-owned small business located in San Diego, California, recently received a $329,000 contract award from the Defense Commissary Agency (DECA) to provide commercial equipment repair and preventive maintenance for Southern California commissary stores. This is the first government contract Bak-Re-Pair, Inc. has been awarded. Bak-Re-Pair, Inc. had been pursuing a contract with DECA for quite some time and are excited to finally find success with the agency, especially since the contract’s scope of work is an exact fit for the services provided by the company.
Bak-Re-Pair, Inc. is a mechanical company that services and maintains food service equipment, service packaging equipment and other commercial equipment, providing parts and service from installation to preventive maintenance. With an in-house machine shop, the company can manufacture or repair custom rollers, racks, carts, and special application equipment, with an experienced background in air handling equipment repair.
Needing assistance with understanding how to respond to the Request for Proposals released by DECA earlier this year, Bak-Re-Pair, Inc. was referred to the San Diego Contracting Opportunities Center (SDCOC) to receive help with submitting a proposal for this business opportunity. With a mission of helping small businesses obtain government contracts, SDCOC specializes in providing this type of assistance free of charge. Senior Procurement Advisor, Tim Warren, met with Bak-Re-Pair, Inc. to walk the company through how to develop a thorough and responsive proposal. The assistance proved to be exactly what the company needed, as Bak-Re-Pair was awarded the contract in May 2015.
“The proposal was very overwhelming and the contract specialist recommended PTAC for help and we are so glad we did. PTAC made the contract much more easy to understand and their help was invaluable in our preparation and completion of the proposal. We know we were awarded the contract with the help of PTAC.”, says Debbie Gilbert, Vice President of Bak-Re-Pair, Inc.
