Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: 60th Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: 60th Logistics Readiness Squadron - Raymond Order Picker Forklift

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: TBD

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $166,326.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The 60th Logistics Readiness Squadron (60 LRS) has a requirement to purchase two wire-guided order picker forklifts that shall be provided and installed. The order picker system shall consist of the following components: a) two forklifts; b) Wire-guidance system; c) Battery system; d) two gray picking carts; e) Conduit, wiring, mechanical fasteners and all other items required to install an operational truck system.

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

In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(i) the order pickers and wire guidance system provided shall be manufactured by Raymond Corporation to ensure compatibility with the already installed ten (10) Raymond order pickers and two (2) Raymond battery charging systems with specs of 6.25KHz, 225 ma p-p throughout building 549. Due to the potential cost of re-procuring and reinstalling an entirely new system, it would be in the Government's best interest to award this Brand Name requirement to Small Business contractors that are able to provide the Raymond Order Pickers IAW the Statement of Work.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The manufacturer (Raymond) was able to provide a quote for the order picker to meet our specific requirements but with further market research performed it was determined small businesses can provide this requirement. The solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov as a Small Business set-aside to further competition of the Brand Name requirement.

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

Due to the cost of re-procuring and reinstalling a new system, future Brand Name awards for this requirement would be in the Governments best interest to further continue compatibility and use of the existing Raymond Order Picker system.

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.
