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

Aircraft tow vehicle, with AWD, diesel engine, cab and 4,000 lb tow capabilities. This is a replacement vehicle for TDA item on hand that is too large for our facility. This replacement tow vehicle will provide the Wisconsin National Guard the ability to safely move aircraft in and out of the aircraft hangars without causing potential damage to the airframe, personnel, or building.

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

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

This tow vehicle is the same make/model as the aircraft tow vehicle currently utilized by on site personnel. Procurement of this vehicle will eliminate the need for additional parts and service, POL, and bench stock.

5. MARKET RESEARCH:

Market Research indicates that there are other aircraft tow vehicles, however, most of them are designed for commercial size aircraft. Those vehicles tend to be larger and will not effectively work for moving current aircraft in and out of the hangar and confined spaces. Market Research indicates there are numerous vendors that offer the required tow vehicle.

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:

None.

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.
