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

The equipment listed above are being purchased to replace and support our current survey equipment. Our current equipment include some broken and unrepairable items. If these items arent purchased our mission could be severly affected and possibly come to a stand still.

We require Trimble equipment for many reasons.

1. Our AFSC trains and operates solely on Trimble equipment. Purchasing a different brand will require retraining for all current and future 3E5 members assigned to PAFB.

2. Our current equipment are Trimble which offers cross functionality between all itterations of trimble survey equipment. The TSC controls can connect to multiple Trimble equipment (R10, R8, 5600 some of which we have and will continue to use. Purchasing a different bran will make our current equipment unusable and in turn require additional funding for replacements.

3. Equipment connectivity is extremely important to our surveyors. We operate in high tempo/fast pace construction than require multiple surveys operating on a job-site at the same time. Its routine to connect to other surveyors to share and receive data to complete a project. Purchasing a different brand will add obstacles to this process by requiring numerous trips to the shop to share data. This is unacceptable as we are often required to survey over 20 miles away at CCAFS. Trimble offers this critical ability to quickly share data among teams.

In Accordance With (IAW) FAR 13.106-1(b), Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

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

Market Research will continually be performed periodically as well as each time a new requirement need for equipment purchase, service or replacement arises to determine if there are other manufacturer brands available that can work within the existing system or better serve Air Force needs.
