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

Huck Tooling is the brand name of the tooling used to perform aircraft maintenance and repairs. Huck Tooling, Inc., was contacted directly, and stated they do not retain proprietary rights and their tooling is available from many commercial companies. However, the Huck brand tooling is specifically used to meet the technical order specific criteria. No other tooling brand has the ability to meet the strict tolerances required for flight safety.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market Research was performed and identified three businesses capable of providing the required Huck Tooling. Therefore, competition is available for the specific brand name.

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

Huck Tooling, Inc., does not retain proprietary rights to the commodities they manufacture. Therefore, market research will be performed for any future requirements to verify whether brand name is still required.

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.
