About this file
This single source justification document identifies the need for Brand Name J and A - ALFA Wrist Altimeters on a sole source basis. The contracting officer conducted market research including checking internal and strategic sources, Federal Prison Industries, AbilityOne, Unicor, GSA, and contacting the manufacturer, but was unable to identify any alternative suppliers that could meet the requirement. While Larsen & Brusgaard is the sole manufacturer of the products, they are not the sole distributor. Additional market research found multiple small businesses interested in supplying the items, so the contracting squadron expects to receive competitive quotes by soliciting through the Government Point of Entry. The goal is to promote competition and ensure best value. The contracting officer determined that only a single source was reasonably available in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number FA487723QA358 for Military Digital Altimeters- ALFA Tactical by the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command.
