About this file

This document is a Single Source Justification for a brand name requirement for Big Ass Fans ceiling fans. The justification supports a sole source award for the purchase of Powerfoil D 16' ceiling fans at an estimated cost of $18,905. The fans are required because the existing fans are hard-wired into the facility's fire alarm and network systems, and replacing them with a different brand would necessitate rewiring the infrastructure at considerable additional cost. While a solicitation will be posted on SAM to comply with competition requirements, prior acquisitions have indicated that Big Ass Fans is the sole source for this brand-specific requirement. This is a simplified acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for the 633d Contracting Squadron supporting JBLE-Langley.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation, FA4800-24-Q-A030, for the procurement of the Big A Fans under NAICS code 333413. This is a brand-specific requirement that will be awarded to the vendor offering the lowest price technically acceptable offer. Vendors do not need the NAICS code listed in their SAM profile, but must certify their small business size status for NAICS 333413 if not listed.

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Security Marking (select from the drop-down list)

November 2018 Security Marking (select from the drop-down list) Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: 633d Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: 633 LRS Big-A Fans

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: TBD

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $18,905.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

This J&A supports a Brand Name action to purchase Big Ass Fans ceiling fans. Ceiling Fan Kit, Powerfoil D, 16', 200-277V/1PH-3PH, 2.0HP, >725Wv

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

JBLE-Langley's current fans are hard-wired into the fire alarm system and other networks. Replacing the current fans with the same brand, Big Ass Fans, will avoid any unnecessary costs for the government that would be caused by replacing all of the wiring and mounts. Langley will also be eligible for trade-in credit with Big Ass Fans for the current inoperable fans.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

A solicitation will be posted on SAM for the requested items. Previous acquisitions have indicated that there are multiple vendors in this space which sell this brand.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

Any change to the model of fan required would necessitate a considerable additional investment of funds, as the Government would then need to re-wire the infrastructure currently in place currently to accommodate this type of fan.

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 is reasonably available.
