About this file
This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification for a military procurement. The United States Air Force 35th Contracting Squadron intends to sole-source a contract to Action Target Inc. for Total-Containment-Trap (TCT) parts replacement at Building 1549, Misawa Air Base, Japan. The procurement includes specific replacement parts such as large smooth plates, seven tops and bottoms of HD mouths, two bridges, seven rear shells, new hardware, a clear DCU manifold, and balance system, along with installation drawings and maintenance manuals. The existing TCT system was originally installed in 2003 by Action Target Inc., and they are the only company capable of providing replacement parts without voiding the warranty. The contract will include a one-year warranty on the equipment replacement, with an intent to sole source notification to be posted on the Governmentwide Point of Entry (GPE) to allow potential alternative vendors to review the opportunity.
