Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: AFLCMC/PZI

Project/Program Name: SCOK Conference Room Upgrades

Purchase Request / Local ID Number:

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $0.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The 66th Air Base Group Communications and Information Division (66ABG/SC) provides Hanscom AFB with network services to all the buildings. The 66ABG/SC division has a requirement to upgrade one conference room located in Building 1435 with a PTZ capable camera and microphone capability a new Microsoft TEAMS USB capability, as described later in this document, an Audio Visual (AV) rack, projector, audio capabilities, and a control system.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

B1435 currently has installed the same equipment on the first floor conference room. The equipment specified for the 2nd floor installation is required for the ability to have the same configuration and hardware for all SC users to use the same equipment in both rooms. The same equipment is required for support and interchangeable components. Introducing different components/ alternate brands /equipment will alter the ability to operate, support, and sustain both rooms. The equipment is TAA compliant.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Competition will still be attempted to the maximum. This action was solicited on the IT mandatory source government point of entry (2GIT). We only received two proposals, of the two, both were technically unacceptable due to the required 100 ile radius to Hanscom. The plan moving forward is to post this solicitation to SAM.gov for a Small Business Full & Open Competition but we due to the technical aspects that were justified listed above, 2GIT was not able to produce the results required to execute a contract award.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

The nature of this contract action is a combination of acquiring supplies and services. Based on market research and experience with other actions of similar scope, required items/service likely wont be similar each time. This requirement is strict on a local business only which limits the pool of vendors on 2GIT. The market research shows local companies can execute this action but the vendors are not 2GIT associated.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
