Attachment 3 Brand Name JA.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the 16th SOAMXS Squadron at Cannon Air Force Base to procure Snap-On tool boxes and tools. The requirement is for 2x new tool boxes for each shop (Avionics, E/E, Engines, Hydro, and Crew Chiefs), with the tools to be etched and foam cut to size, allowing over 100 man-hours worth of work to be completed.

The justification explains that the squadron currently has thousands of Snap-On tools valued at $500K, and switching to a different brand would require purchasing new spare tools and separate storage, potentially wasting $200K in assets. The document cites AFI 21-101 requirements for standardized Consolidated Tool Kits (CTK) and notes that the requested brand offers lifetime warranty on tools with local vendor support for replacements. The contracting officer determined on February 28, 2025 that only a single source is reasonably available, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The contracting activity is listed as 27 SOCONS/PKA, and this is not identified as a Bridge Action.
