Attachment 3 - Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification for a Simplified Acquisition by the 673rd Contracting Squadron for the 773rd Civil Engineering Squadron. The procurement involves a Bobcat Utility Work Vehicle (UW56 Toolcat Brand M125) with specific attachments, including a Deluxe Road Package, Attachment Control, Engine Block Heater, Power Bob-Tach, High Flow Package, 96" Snow Blade (Heavy Duty), and Snow Pusher. The vehicle will primarily be used for snow removal in support of the Aircraft Arresting System (AAS) on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER).

The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) to sole-source the Bobcat brand due to owned attachments and familiarity with the Toolcat system. Multiple small businesses were found capable of providing similar equipment, and the requirement will be posted on SAM.gov as a 100% small business set-aside. Future procurement specifications will be analyzed to identify competition opportunities, with market research and user performance data from this Bobcat Toolcat to inform subsequent evaluations. The estimated contract is dated 14-May-2025 and was signed by Contracting Officer Zachary T. Braum.
