FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

March 2018 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: 50 CONS/PKB

Project/Program Name: Moog Quickset Tripod Heads

Purchase Request/Identification Number: F3G1NA8162A003

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Under the contemplated contract, the vendor will provide sixteen (16) Moog Quickset 4-52926-9C, Hercules geared heads in support of the 527th Space Aggressor Squadron (SAS). The Moog Quickset 4-52926-9C Hercules geared head has a calibrated QHH-11 large platform compatible with the Hercules tripod series. Salient Characteristics: Manufacturer Part Number: Moog Quickset 4-52926-9C, large platform compatible with the Hercules tripod series presently owned by the 527 SAS.

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

The Moog Quickset 4-52926-9C Hercules geared head calibrated QHH-11 is the one required to make the Hercules tripods functional to operate in the field and that are an integral part of the 527 SAS mission. Moog Inc. is the sole manufacturer for the Moog Quickset 4-52926-9C Hercules geared head; however, there is more than one source capable of providing this product.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

This requirement was posted to GSA as an Request for Information (RFI). There were zero quotes in response to the RFI. A Sources Sought (SS) was posted on FBO with only one response. A contractor could provide the Brand name Moog Quickset Tripod Heads. Internet searches have revealed that there is more than one reseller available for this particular tripod head.

There is reasonable expectation that more than one quote will be received from the authorized resellers identified during the market research phase of the acquisition.

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

Constant market research to find better and more cost effective competitive solutions.

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.
