DETERMINATION & FINDINGS

Authority to Solicit from a Single Source (at or below the SAT)

1. Agency and Contracting Activity: 4 CONS PKB

2. Nature and/or Description of the Action: $47,000.00

This requirement is for quarterly maintenance services on SFS Small Arms Firing Range Target retrieval system located at Seymour Johnson AFB. The current CATAM range at SJAFB is manufactured by Action Target Inc.

3. Citation to the Appropriate Regulation:

(Contracting Officer Instruction: Select the applicable authority for this acquisition)

RFO 8.401 and GSAR 538.7104-3(a) (FSS Orders): The circumstances of the acquisition deem only one source reasonably capable of providing the products, services, or solutions.

RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name): The particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirements, and market research indicates other companies' similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet the agency's needs or cannot be modified to meet the agency's minimum needs,.

RFO 12.102(a) (Commercial Products and Services): Only one source is available,.

RFO 13.101(b) (Noncommercial Products and Services): Only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name, or industrial mobilization),.

4. Findings:

Market research and historical acquisition data confirm that the existing firing range system is proprietary to Action Target, and the manufacturer does not authorize third-party vendors to maintain, repair, or provide parts for their systems. Any alteration by anyone other than Action Target INC will void the warranty of the system. Seymour Johnson AFB must continue to maintain and repair the existing firing range to ensure operational readiness and capability. Introducing new entities into the services for the firing range would come with increased costs and administrative burden to procure a new system.

A letter from the OEM, dated May 21 2026, was also obtained outlining the proprietary rights that Action Target possesses for not only their products but also any maintenance or repair on existing systems.

Action Target Inc is classified as an other than small business in all service NAICS codes. The chosen NAICS for this procurement is 811310.

This requirement for SFS firing range maintenance must be awarded as a single source to Action Target Inc.

5. Determination: Based on the findings above, the proposed sole source or brand name action is justified under the applicable regulation.

6. Signatory Authority: (Contracting Officer Instruction: In accordance with DAF Approval Authorities Matrix PM 26-C-11 Matrix Item 51 for RFO 13.101(b) actions and GSAR 538.7104-3(a) for FSS orders, the Contracting Officer is the approval authority for these determinations).
