Brand-Name Justification.pdf

This document is a Use of a Single Source Below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) form for a military contract. The 136th Mission Support Contracting activity is seeking a TRAK TMC7 Milling Machine with ProtoTRAK RMX for the 136th Maintenance Squadron. The estimated contract value is below $250,000.00, and it is a brand-name specific procurement.

The rationale for single-source procurement highlights a critical need for a milling machine that can operate in true manual mode, replicating the function of an aging manual mill. The TRAK TMC7's unique control system is designed to support true manual operation, which is essential for production and prototyping tasks. The machine's specialized capabilities include integrated probing features for capturing real-world part geometry and transferring coordinate data, which are critical for aircraft maintenance operations. The procurement is a non-recurring requirement, and the contracting officer has determined that the circumstances justify a single-source acquisition. The document will be publicized on SAM.gov as a brand-name requirement.
