FROM: 87 CONS

SUBJECT: Notice of Intent to solicit to ATC Smart Trailer

The 87th Contracting Squadron intends to award a single source purchase order Snap-on

Industrial, located at 21755 Network Place, Chicago, IL 60673 under the authority of FAR

13.106-1(b) Soliciting From A Single Source. The 305th Maintenance Group requests approval to procure ATC Smart Trailer for 305th Maintenance Group which will standardize the equipment throughout our Wing.

Project Description: See attachment 1, PWS.

A determination not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The 87th Contracting Squadron at Joint Base

McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst hereby gives notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Snap-On

Industrial, 21755 Network Place, Chicago, IL 60673-1227. The North American Industry

Classification System (NAICS) Code for 336212, with a size standard of 1,000 employees for the ATC Smart Trailer at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Currently, the 305th has more than a million dollars’ worth of Snap-On tools and computer systems used to track the tools. The system that is currently in use will integrate with the system and the tools included in the trailer seamlessly that no other source can provide. The tool boxes and lockers will be customized specifically to fit the trailer and Snap-On will not have authorized resellers for these boxes. Snap-On provides lifetime warranties that include the servicing and replacing of any defective or broken tool (barring inappropriate use or gross negligence). Snap-

On is the only company that has a local representative that is able to make visits to the base on a routine basis to ensure that all tools are continually maintained, allowing 305th MXS to operate in a constant state of readiness. Due to this service, tools will not be required to ship and broken or defective tools to a manufacturer for maintenance. The Smart Trailer is fully offline capable, allowing for tool accountability on and off the network and a manual mode capable after complete power loss. When factoring in the cost of an alternative trailers as well as replacing

Snap-On tools with a different brand to be compatible with the alternative trailer, the cost would not be advantageous to the Government.
