Page 1 of 1Updated: 9 Jun 16

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: AFTC/PZIO

Project/Program Name: 3060 UMS

Purchase Request/Identification Number: F1T3BW6357AQ01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The requirement is to ship one (1) each 3060-UMS, Pacific Power Source, unit to the manufacturer for troubleshooting/repair, return shipping, re-installation and recommissioning of the unit.

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

Pacific Power Source (PPS) is the sole source equipment manufacturer. Panhandle Power Solutions LLC is the only authorized installer in the local area that the manufacturer uses to remove/install their equipment and still honor their equipment warranties. Panhandle Power Solutions is the original installer of the equipment and new Bus-way system for the Regulator system at the facility and has intimate knowledge of the necessary shut-down procedures effecting the ANFPS-85 Weapon Systems' mission. Additionally, Panhandle Power Solutions has performed numerous projects at the site where the filament regulators (3060-UMS, Pacific Power) have been affected and are well practiced in the proper procedures that need to be performed in order to minimize costs impacts to the facility arising from extended outages. Panhandle Power Solutions knowledge of the existing Regulator system at the facility eliminates a timely educational process for a new contractor to understand the inner workings of the ANFPS-85 and the importance of the filament regulators with respect to that mission.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The equipment manufacturer referred us to their regional representative, Panhandle Power Solutions LLC. A sources sought was not issued as the manufacturer of the equipment can only use their authorized (proprietary) parts and distributors/installers for their equipment in order to facilitate a manufacturer's warranty.

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

The 20th SPC actively survey the market place and review data and catalogs to preclude the necessity for sole source acquisitions and will continue to monitor the industry through perusal of trade journals, technical symposiums and contact with industry representatives.

Any future requirements will be researched and if support meeting the requirements is identified then a competitive acquisition for the requirement will be considered.

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.
