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

This is not a new mission requirement to AAFB, as civilian contractors enforced boater safety from Memorial Day through Labor Day over the past 25 years. Security Forces identified a need for a yearly boat patrol for public safety and the above stated specifications are included for Tracker Boats 2072 CC and Mercury 150 horsepower four stroke engine. Dedicated law enforcement patrols are required to focus on security duties, the boat would be employed through the year to support mission requirements. A Security Forces presence is needed to maintain current and future mission requirements. To ensure functionality and safety, it is imperative that the boat have the above technical requirements to ensure quality and effectiveness.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

An Air Force Advantage GSA listing was attempted on 26 Jun 25; however, the total was over $45K without the boat trailer and did not meet technical specifications.

A combined synopsis and solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov from Monday, 28 July 2025 to Wednesday, 20 August 2025. If quotes received meet technical specifications posted on combined synopsis/soliciation, the lowest quote will be evaluated and evaluated fair and reasonable.

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

A SFS flat bottom boat is required to enforce water safety and hunting safety at AAFB to meet mission requirements. If quotes received meet technical specifications posted on combined synopsis/soliciation, the technical evaluation will be evaluated at lowest price. If the need arises, further market research will be conducted to determine if additional name brands are available to meet the 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.
