Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: 21 CONS/PKA, 135 Dover Street, Bldg. 350, Peterson AFB, CO 80914

Project/Program Name: CMSFS Hoists and Trolleys

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F3L3501175AW01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $199,283.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Contractor to furnish all labor, tools, transportation, supplies, equipment, materials, and incidentals necessary to purchase, install and load test a total of twelve (12) 5-ton hoists and trolleys at Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station (CMSFS). Three (3) of the hoist are yellow 5-ton hoists, which are very low profile. Nine (9) of the hoist are red 5-ton hoists, with standard profiles.

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

BRAND NAME ONLY

The hoists being procured will work in conjunction with existing hoists already located at CMSFS. Since 21 CES personnel perform all maintenance and repairs of these hoists, it is essential that the brand of hoist being used is the same as the new hoists being procured. The CES personnel are trained to work on the current brand of hoist and if another brand was purchased, it would significantly degrade the maintenance capabilities that CES can provide if they were required to work on possibly 4 different brands of hoists.

The three (3) 5-ton yellow hoists being purchased are extremely low profile hoists, and will be integrated into existing R&M equipment. There are currently 13 R&M hoists in place that will continue to be utilized. The three (3) 5-ton yellow hoists are a brand name requirement for R&M. All of these hoist will be 5-ton low profile hoist without chain bag and an integrated manual chain driven trolley.

The nine (9) 5-ton, red hoists are a standard type of hoists, and will be integrated into existing Advantage equipment. There are currently 7 Advantage hoists in place that will continue to be utilized. The nine (9) 5-ton hoists are a brand name requirement for Advantage. All of these hoists will be 5-ton standard profile with chain bag and integrated manual push pull plain trolley.

All of these hoists will feature 30 ft of lift capability and be 208 volt 3 phase with 6 ft electrical whips and plugs. Trolleys will need to fit existing 7 inch wide flange I beam.

Upon project completion, there will be a total of 16 of each type of hoists installed.

A sources sought was posted where nine (9) potential contractors confirmed they are capable and interested of providing the above Brand Name Requirement.

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