About this file
This document contains a single source justification for the purchase of Trimble survey equipment. The Air Force seeks to upgrade its current GPS survey system and requires Trimble brand equipment to integrate with its existing Trimble Business Center software and directly interface with current survey assets. The market research found Trimble to be the only manufacturer that supports Trimble Business Center. While no other equipment providers can meet all requirements, this procurement allows for small business competition to supply the Trimble X7 kit and T10x tablet under solicitation number FA461323Q0021 issued by the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command. As alternative survey software becomes available for Air Force approval, it may enable competition from additional equipment manufacturers in the future.
