About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the procurement of ALFA Military Altimeters with hand mount. The requirement is for 25 altimeters at an estimated cost of $30,000. The justification states that these altimeters are the only ones approved for use by the Air Force Personnel Parachute Program and are required for military jump operations. Market research was conducted but no other sources were found. The contracting officer has determined that this is a brand name justification under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and a total small business set-aside solicitation will be issued.
The related federal contract opportunity is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of the ALFA Military Altimeters. It incorporates relevant FAR, DFARS, and DAFFARS provisions and clauses. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334511 with a size standard of 1,350 employees. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to the offeror who meets the lowest price and technical acceptability. Quotes are due by the solicitation close date.

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)
Section A: General Contract Information
Contracting Activity: 123D MSC
Project/Program Name: Altimeters
Purchase Request/ Local ID Number:F7H1ST4074AW02
Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $30,000
Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required
- 123 STS has a requirement for ALFA Military Altimeters with hand mount. These are digital altimeters utilized during a variety of military (i.e., Air Force) airdrop/jump operations and missions. They are water resistant up to 6ft for onehour, ruggedized, rechargeable, and provide a backlight/lR feature needed for Para rescue jump missions.
Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name
In accordance with AFI 10-3503, Personnel Parachute Operations, during military jump operations/missions, Air Force rescue operators are required to wear altimeters as part of free-fall jumps. Additionally, the Air Force Personnel Parachute Program (PPP) Approved For Use List (AUL) specifically authorizes ALFA Military Altimeters with hand mount for use with military static-line systems, military free-fall systems, ram air static line systems, and Non-tactical Ram Air Parachute Systems. Moreover, the charging/transport case(s) for the specific brand being requested are already owned by the unit.
Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition
Market research was conducted with mandatory/ preferred sources as required by FAR Pt 8. Additionally, market research has been conducted with multiple parachute accessory vendors. However, based on the foregoing information, this requirement should be procured using a Brand Name justification.
Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards
Our goal is to utilize the most efficient and affordable method of procuring supplies in an effort to meet the customer's needs and mission in a timely manner. We are consistently utilizing all available avenues to identify vendors via previous purchase history, market research, known resources and approved innovated methods. With each additional requirement received, 355 CONS will continue to search for distributors and manufacturers that sell Alfa Larsen & Brusgaard Altimeters that fulfill requirements submitted by the customer.
Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination
I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source isreasonably available.
