Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 45 CONS/LGCB Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F3KTK96061A001

Project/Program Name: AS-110 Fume Hood Test Cart Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

$80,025.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The requirement is to provide a fume hood test cart with appropriate software that is capable of performing American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 110 testing. Training with the cart and software is also needed.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

The components of the cart testing equipment must seamlessly work together to operate properly. Individual components can be purchased separately and assembled by us. Additionally, purchasing the pieces separately would cost the government more money and time in purchasing pieces that all work together. However, the purchase of the Exposure Control Technologies equipment cart provides us all compatible materials on a specialized cart with appropriate systems and training that we would not be able to obtain ourselves.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Exposure Control Technologies is the only manufacturer for the ASHRAE-110 testing cart with the necessary components to meet the mission of the laboratory.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

With the purchase of this product the need does not exist for a future single award. Because, all of the equipment can be maintained and calibrated by the requesting activity at PAFB. The software associated with this product will also be owned by AFTAC and can be changed to newer operating systems when needed.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
