SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITON PROCEDURES (SAP)

Justification for Brand Name and or Sole Source Acquisitions Over $3,500 but not Exceeding The Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLE AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION, WHICH LIMTS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENTS REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS “ONLY KNOWN SOURCE” OR “ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE “ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE THE

CUSTOMER SHALL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

1. PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER

2. PROJECT/TASK NUMBER

3. ESTIMATED AMOUNT

4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE.

Rental of two ASV Skid Steers intended to be used by the Electrical Shop and the already purchased equipment.

5. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC THAT LIMIT AVIALIABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. MOST RECENT MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED (INCLUDE DATES & DETAILS). IF MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT

CONDUCTED, EXPLAIN.

McAAP currently possesses working attachment equipment that's only compatible with name brand ASV skid steers. The wiring harnesses and also the mounting hardware must link up to ASV equipment

6. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING SYSTEM, IF APPLICABLE, & NON-CONPATIBILITY COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURING AND/OR

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS.

ASV has a developed and manufactured the harness and the mounting brackets on their skid steers to be compatible/accept our attachments equipment for working.

7. EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN

COMMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

There are other systems that are similar to this one. The justification for ASV is that this application would be a direct fit and wouldn't require additional man hours to develop and adapt what we currently have. McAAPs ASV equipment is temporally red tagged and any mods that we do to the harnesses/mounts would have to be reversed once the rental is up.

8. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIER TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. IF THIS IS A FOLLOW-ON ACTION TO A PREVIOUSLY COMPETED ACTION, SO STATE.
