THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

THE ITEM OR SERVICE PROVIDER IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S

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. THIS FORM MAY BE USED IN LIEU OF THE DETERMINATION DESCRIBED IN FAR 13.106. THE CUSTOMER SHALL

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

TNT Rescue Extrication Equipment powered by Milwaukee (M18) Batteries. This kit will be utilized to provide lifesaving rescue services.

4. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE,

WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED:

The Volk Field Fire Department currently utilizes these equipment pieces and TNT Rescue Equipment is powered by Milwaukee (M18) Batteries that are currently employed by several other tools on board rescue apparatus. Interoperability between systems and redundancy requirements for life-safety equipment limit options to this set. Additionally, limited space on rescue apparatus prohibits use of other, more cumbersome tool sets.

5. MARKET RESEARCH:

Research was conducted on all available extrication equipment. No other equipment brands meet Fire Department requirements.

6. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO

REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE

ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED:

Manufacturers can eliminate proprietary power plant requirements for extrication equipment to reduce interoperability limitations.

I CERTIFY THAT THIS JUSTIFICATION IS ACCURATE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF MY

KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF, AND THAT COMPLETING THIS PURCHASE AS A SOLE SOURCE

IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE GOVERNMENT. ADDITIONALLY, I APPROVE THIS

JUSTIFICATION TO LIMIT COMPETITION SUBJECT TO THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS AND

PROVIDED THAT THE SERVICES OR SUPPLIES HEREIN DESCRIBED HAVE OTHERWISE

BEEN AUTHORIZED FOR ACQUISITION.
