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

For vehicle 05C00157

The vehicle was manufactured with a GMC engine, it would be impracticable and cost prohibitive to consider purchasing parts of a brand name other than GMC. Per AFI 24-302 5.2.16 purchasers of vehicle parts must query parts dealers to ensure new, rebuilt or after-market parts for all vehicles and equipment meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer specifications before ordering parts. Installing an engine with a brand name other than GMC would require at least an additional 100 man hours of labor. Purchasing a new vehicle at a cost of $24,456.07 far exceeds the $13,000 price of an engine and additional parts that are required to return this vehicle to service.
