25Q4009 Atch 5 Brand Name JA 6MAY25_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the United States Air Force (USAF) to procure Trimble land survey equipment. The procurement covers multiple Trimble survey equipment kits from fiscal year 2025-2031, including R12i GNSS Rover Survey System Kits, S7 and SX12 Robotic Total Station Kits, TDL 450H Radio System Kits, Survey Controller Kits, Auto Level, Grader and Dozer Robotic Total Station Survey Kits, X9 Scanner Survey Kits, and associated software and training packages.

The J&A justifies the brand-name-only acquisition based on Trimble's proprietary software, unique integration capabilities, and the existing USAF investment in Trimble systems. The Air Force conducted market research through a sources sought notice and determined that alternative survey equipment would require replacing the entire inventory and cannot interface with existing Trimble systems. The procurement is expected to standardize and refresh aging equipment, maximize existing training programs, and avoid additional costs associated with ordering through the Defense Logistics Agency. The total estimated contract value is redacted, but the acquisition is for a seven-year equipment refresh cycle maintained by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center.
