I. Agency and Contracting Activity (RFO 6.104-1(a)(1)):

Agency: AFGSC Contracting Activity: 28th Contracting Squadron

II. Nature and/or description of the action being approved (RFO 6.104-1(a)(2)):

This document approves the award of a contract on a brand-name basis to Snap-On for the procurement of tools in support of the Ellsworth AFB fit-out. This justification is made on individual basis and utilized RFO procedures.

III. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs (RFO 6.104-1(a)(3)):

This requirement is for the purchase of brand name, etched, professional-grade tools in conjunction with foam shadowing in accordance with the associated equipment lists and salient characteristics for the new Low Observable (LO) facility at Ellsworth AFB, SD.

IV. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(4)):

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

V. Rationale for Use of Authority (RFO 6.104-1(a)(5)):

Snap-On tools encompass the majority of tools currently in use across the various maintenance sections operating on Ellsworth AFB. The primary justification for the brand-name acquisition of Snap-On tools is the need for standardization as mandated by Air Force policy per Department of the Air Force Instruction (DAFI) 21-101, Aircraft and Equipment Maintenance Management, paragraph 8.3.4, states, "CTK contents will be standardized to the maximum extent possible within functional elements of a squadron that have similar missions."

VI. Integrated Market Analysis and Efforts to Solicit Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(6), (8), and (10)):

An RFI was posted on GSA E-buy on 19 March 2025 for a period of 14 days. Three vendors responded to this RFI confirming they are capable of providing the required equipment. Based on market research conducted and the previous solicitation resulting in only one quote submission, it is recommended that this requirement be solicited through SAM.gov as a brand-name 100% small business set aside to maximize competition and price reasonableness. RFO 5.101(b)(1)(i) exempts this requirements solicitation from notices prior to posting.

VII. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost (RFO 6.104-1(a)(7)):

The Contracting Officer is responsible for evaluating, determining, and documenting the anticipated contract cost/price is fair and reasonable in accordance with RFO Subpart 15.4, Contract Pricing.

VIII. Any Other Facts Supporting the Justification (RFO 6.104-1(a)(9)):

N/A

IX. Actions to Overcome Barriers to Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(11):

Due to only 1 quote submitted from the cancelled requirement, the solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov to maximize competition.
