Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: AFTC/PZIOA

Project/Program Name: Ethernet NLINE

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F1T0DD4191A104

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $22,424.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The requirement is to purchase two MIL-STD-1553 bus controllers with remote terminal and bus monitor capabilities with interface cable accessories from Altadt Data Technologies.

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

Altadt devices are already in use and proven to meet requirements. CONOPS, ATOs, and interfaces are in place to support these units. Program delays and extensive man-hours would result from using different unit. The 896 TSS has found technology from other manufactures that could meet our technical requirements and plans to purchase units from those companies for evaluation in use for new projects, but for this project, that equipment would require replacement of existing infrastructure and rewrite of CONOPS and ATOs in order to be compatible.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Multiple Small Businesses were contacted and RFIs resulted in quotes with higher prices by more that $10K. Multiple internet searches and solicitations were unsuccessful. Going directly with Altadt through SAM.gov is the best possible outcome for the government and the Mission Partner.

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

The 896 TSS will continue to monitor the technology market place by means of white-papers, symposiums, and on-line research and will consider other manufactures if such technology meets the requirements. The 896TSS plans to evaluate similar products from NAI and AIT for use in future programs.

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.
