Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: 28 CONS/PKA

Project/Program Name: Elevator Shaft Fire Trainer

Purchase Request / Local ID Number:

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Elevator Shaft Fire Trainer to be attached to existing structure

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

The elevator shaft trainer being procured is specifically designed, engineered, and certified by Fire Facilities to attach to the existing structural fire trainer. The Fire Facilities Elevator Shaft Trainer structure itself is engineer certified by Fire Facilities IAW NFPA 1402, Standard on Facilities for Fire Training and Associated Props, which requires a structural integrity inspection to be documented and approved by a licensed professional engineer. Use of a non-Fire Facilities elevator shaft trainer poses a significant safety hazard to firefighters conducting specialized rescue training and repelling at high elevations as it could not be certified to work with the existing structure without use of proprietary design drawings owned by Fire Facilities. Due to the requirement to maintain an engineer certified structure, Fire Facilities is the only source for purchase.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

A Sources Sought was posted to FBO and GSA eBuy. Fire Facilities Inc was the sole respondent.

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

No action can be taken at this point in time to overcome barriers to competition until the entire fire training structure is replaced.
