Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: Department of the Air Force, 673d Contracting Squadron, JBER, AK 99506

Project/Program Name: ASMLO Paint Booth Maintenance and Operation Upgrade

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F1W2F36209AQ01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $79,890.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The 3 MXS/MXMF is in need of technicians of subject matter experts from WHESCO Group to replace control panels and install associated software for four F-22 ASMLO Paint Booth systems. This requirement is for work to be completed on proprietary components designed and engineered by WHESCO Group Inc, and company has expressed that no authorized/licensed vendors exist to provide this service on the equipment or associated programming. The control panel replacement and associated software installs will be conducted at Bldg. 9696.

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

The 3 MXS Bldg. 9696 has uniquely designed and engineered equipment control panels/software produced by WHESCO Group Inc for four F-22 aircraft paint booths. The F-22 Aircraft Paint Bays in the ASMLO facility are consistently going down due to the logic programs being out of date. We cannot update the logic system because the control panels are out of date and no longer supported by the manufacture. These booths operate 24/7 and every time the controls go into alarm it shuts down the booths and all maintenance has to stop for environmental and personnel health concerns until a workaround can be applied to restart the booths.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Because the control panels and software were designed and engineered by WHESCO for this facility at JBER and are proprietary in nature, there are no other companies that have the license or authorization to complete this work

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

There are no other manufacturers that have rights except the WHESCO Group Inc. This makes options limited to a single source justification.
