Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: 5 CONS

Project/Program Name: CSL PARTS/OSHKOSH

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: Osh Kosh Snow vehicle parts

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Due to the time it takes to acquire vehicle/equipment parts (OSHKOSH), a ready reserve of these parts is required to minimize down time of mission essential assets.

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

All parts for repairs of Special Purpose equipment (OSHKOSH) must meet or exceed original manufacturer's specifications. Due to the specificity of the vehicles/equipment only the original manufacture produce the parts needed for the repairs.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Only dealerships with the rights to market or re-sell the original brand name parts (OSHKOSH) are the only sources available to procure the parts that work on this equipment. Unable to find another provider of original parts. This is after years of calling and web research by personal effort.

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

Special use vehicles (OSHKOSH) are of a limited number and quantity so there isn't a foreseeable way to change how to source the repairs other than through the companies that produced them.

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.
