I. Agency and Contracting Activity (RFO 6.104-1(a)(1)):

Agency: AMC Contracting Activity: 60th Contracting Squadron

II. Nature and/or description of the action being approved (RFO 6.104-1(a)(2)):

This acquisition will limit sources by requiring the brand name Raymond. However, this limitation does not preclude small business and or competition. In fact, market research has shown a healthy amount of competition within the small business Raymond-forklift (material handler) space.

III. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs (RFO 6.104-1(a)(3)):

Purchase Material Handling Equipment reach truck, model number 7200-R35TT. The reach truck Model 5600-OPCT30TT shall be provided and installed, and system shall consist a) spare battery; b) battery charger, and all other items required to install an operational truck system.

IV. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(4)):

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

V. Rationale for Use of Authority (RFO 6.104-1(a)(5)):

The order pickers manufactured by Raymond, all our preexisting equipments in 60 LRS are manufactured by Raymond Company. Mechanic(s) are trained on Raymond handling equipments and maintains Raymond equipment spare parts only. Purchasing any other brand will cost more money on training and maintaining separate spare parts.

VI. Integrated Market Analysis and Efforts to Solicit Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(6), (8), and (10)):

Previous acquisitions by 60 CONS include contract #FA442725P0047 - two (2) Raymond handling fork lifts, awarded to Lunar Holdings LLC, 7WX93. In the previous contract they also found small businesses capable of meeting this type of requirement.

This requirement shall be solicited on Sam.gov, set-aside for 100% small business to ensure competition is promoted.

VII. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost (RFO 6.104-1(a)(7)):

The Contracting Officer is responsible for evaluating, determining, and documenting the anticipated contract cost/price is fair and reasonable in accordance with RFO Subpart 15.4, Contract Pricing.

VIII. Any Other Facts Supporting the Justification (RFO 6.104-1(a)(9)):

IX. Actions to Overcome Barriers to Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(11):

Maintaining proper documentation of pricing will overcome barriers to competition if a subsequent acquisition is made. This historical pricing can be used to determine if future acquisitions are competitive or non competitive and if this brand of forklift becomes less competitive based on small business capability and pricing we can remove the barrier and open it up to different brands.
