Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 97th CONF/PKA

Project/Program Name: Fire Prevention Safety House

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F1B3R20213AW02

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $22,532.50

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Fire Prevention Safety House (FPSH) is a tool to instruct fire safety education to school age children from Pre-K to 4th Grade.

This addition to Altus AFB will allow for the fire prevention division to finally provide appropriate educational instruction to the above age groups. The FPSH provides a home like picture with fire prevention topics such as hot surfaces, escape plans, smoke detectors and inspection, opening windows, and dialing 911. Images provide information directly to the children while appealing to the ability learning is fun.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

Inflatable images has provided a full packaged quote that sells the FPSH, dolly (which supports the weight of the the FPSH), trailer, and wrap of the trailer (education messages and base decals). All these items combined are made specifically for the FPSH. By purchasing from this single vendor it is assured that all items will work in the ability to transport via trailer and when loading and unloading to the training site. All items are covered under warranty for one (1) full year by the company. Market research did show another company that provides only the FPSH and no ability to transport. This would force us to go through several vendors to get a trailer, dolly, and to have the trailer wrapped with educational messages. By purchasing from this single vendor will save money from having to pay out for items that may or may not work with the FPSH.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research has conducted and found that the government will have to make many purchases from many vendors to meet the requirements that are requested. Inflatable images is the only vendor that sells the FPSH, dolly (which supports the weight of the the FPSH), trailer, and wrap in a turn-key operation.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

There is nothing in stone that would in the future avert from a single source purchase of this item. Research has shown that these types of educational materials is on the rise. Only when and if other companies take on this task of providing all the necessary tools, care, warranties and transportation for their products would it then make it available to reach out to another company for this product.
