Attachment 3 - Brand Name Justification Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification for a federal contract opportunity prepared by the 673rd Contracting Squadron. The document justifies the procurement of four Bobcat ToolCat UW56 utility work vehicles with specific attachments (including 84" angle broom, 74" light material bucket, 74" cutting edge, 84" snow V-blade) for the 773 LRS/LGR unit. The vehicles will be used for transporting chains and tri-wall, mobility facility operations, towing Aerospace Ground equipment, and rapid snow removal for mission-essential work areas.

The justification includes market research demonstrating that the Bobcat ToolCat is the only utility work vehicle meeting the specific requirements, with unique capabilities such as loading two thousand pounds, operating multiple attachments, and providing efficient cargo movement. Market research identified multiple small businesses through searches, and the contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. The procurement will be completed under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3572, using simplified acquisition procedures, with the intent to award a commercial firm fixed-price contract to a vendor meeting the solicitation requirements.
