Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: 45 CONS/PKBA

Project/Program Name: Pan & Tilt Mobile Positioner

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: FA252124QB161

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $38,600.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The request for a 7-53450 TAURUS QMPR Positioner, 24VDC, CR, UNIVERSAL is required to meet the 45SW multiple instantaneous mission support requirements, the frequency control analysis (FCA) vehicles require a positioner to support missions with radar beacon tracking.

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

The FCA vehicles' equipment operation control software, designed by the 85EIS, are compatible with QuickSet positioners. This allows the positioners to be used as spares for any of the existing FCA vehicles. Software would need to be re-developed and tested if positioners were provided by another company. This would require time, funding, and render one of the FCA vehicles unable to support missions. With less vehicles available to support missions, this may lead to delayed or scrubbed launches.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The Mission Partner was only able to find one vendor than can provide for this name brand requirement; QuickSet cage code 80175. 45 CONS will post a sources sought to identify any additional vendors on SAM.gov.

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

Market Research will be conducted for any future requirements to determine if other sources can provide for this requirement.

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.
