About this file

This document is a Single Source Justification for a Simplified Acquisition contract for a Portable Training Facility. The requirement is for a combination of fabric or vinyl panels and aluminum poles and connectors that can be assembled to form rooms, hallways, and ceilings to conduct active shooter live fire training with marking cartridges or airsoft weapons. An RFI and sources sought were posted with no responses, indicating that UTM's exclusive portable training facility is the only one that meets the requirements. This will be a brand name requirement with authorized secondary vendors that sell UTM's product. The estimated contract cost is $132,932. The Contracting Officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 45th Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: Portable Training Facility

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: TBD/FA252124QB061

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $132,932.00

Portable Training Facility - A combination of fabric or vinyl panels and aluminum poles and connectors which, when assembled, form rooms, hallways, and ceilings to conduct active shooter live fire training with marking cartridges or airsoft weapons safely.

An RFI and sources sought were posted to GSA and sam.gov concurrently and neither one had any responses upon expiration. It is apparent that UTM's exclusive portable training facility is the only one that is soft and does not require tools which is necessary to meet the mission partner's needs. However, there are authorized secondary vendors that sell UTM's product. For this reason, this will be a brand name requirement.

An RFI and sources sought were posted to GSA and sam.gov concurrently and neither one had any responses upon expiration.

If security forces has another requirement that is the same or similar, an RFI/Sources Sought will be posted to asses what the industry can provide.

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
