About this file
This document is a single source justification for the procurement of a Trimble X7 kit with T10x tablet from Trimble Inc. to upgrade an existing GPS survey system. The contracting activity is 90 CONS/PKAB at a cost of $41,535. Market research found that only Trimble equipment is compatible with the existing Trimble Business Center software approved for Air Force use. No other manufacturers can meet all requirements. While no other suppliers currently exist, allowing for small business competition and identifying other potential approved survey software in the future could lead to additional sources. The contracting officer determined that only a single source was reasonably available in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command for the brand name Trimble X7 kit. No other details are provided about the solicitation.
