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

153d CACS wrecker is equipped with an air bag recovery system that was built by MatJack. During the years of training and actual use the air bags and some equipment has become non serviceable and weathered. 153d CACS are looking to replace the equipment with no modifications to the wrecker that is currently built to use only MatJack equipment. The recovery systems are unique to themselves, (i.e. air capability, air regulation, hose fitting, bag material and methodology

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

November 2018 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Page 2 of 2 of use which we are currently trained to use). It is also a issue with overall kit size, they currently store the air bag recovery system in a mounted box on the wrecker making this exact replacement of bags and tools able to fit in the limited space that is provided. Third party vendors are capable of offering the MatJack equipment; therefore, this requirement will be solicited in a brand name environment.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The MatJack SUS5 kit was found on GSA advantage. However, the 104TK and C-LB2S could not be found on GSA ; therefore, this will be posted to FBO.gov for adequate competition.

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

Due to the existing air bag recovery system,153d use of the MatJack will continue to be brand name until the wrecker is changed or modified to accept other than MatJack equipment.

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.
