About this file
This document is a single source justification for a solicitation issued by the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command. It details the need to procure tool kits and tools from Snap-on to standardize configurations across the 354th Fighter Squadron as required by Air Force instructions. The justification cites the instructions that mandate common tool kit sizes, drawer dimensions, and layouts. It indicates efforts to seek competition through a sources sought notice and knowledge of approved Snap-on resellers. The document states that future awards will require the standard Snap-on tools until the squadron changes brands or the instructions no longer require standardization. The related solicitation is for a supply cage to procure the standardized Snap-on tool kits and tools for the 354th Fighter Squadron.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name
AFI21-101_ACCSUP_8.3.3 Design CTKs to provide for quick inventory and accountability of tools. CTKs and tools will be clearly marked with the Equipment Identification Designator (EID). 8.3.4 CTK contents will be standardized to the maximum extent possible within functional elements of a squadron that have similar missions (such as, aircraft flights/sections and Combat Armament Support Team). 8.3.5 Each tool, item of equipment, or consumable contained in a CTK will have an assigned location identified either by inlay cuts in the shape of the item, shadowed layout, label, or silhouette. AFI21-101_ACCSUP_8.3.3, 8.3.4, and
8.3.5 requires all CTK’s to be standardized across all tool kit templates; same size tool, same size tool kit drawers and toolbox dimensions.
Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition
A sources sought was posted on sam.gov to identify approved resellers of the Snap-on products that we are requesting. This sources sought yielded multiple vendors that are capable and willing to provide the needed supply cage. Additionally, there is a known list of approved resellers for snap on which was also quickly identified and are capable of providing this requirement.
Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards
Until the 354th FGS change the brand of tools that they used or AFI21-101_ACCSUP_8.3.3, 8.3.4, and 8.3.5 removes the verbiage of "standardization across all tool kit templates", future requirements requiring tools to be bought will be specific to the brand of the standardization that is utilized within the 354th FGS.
