Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 341 CONS

Project/Program Name: Expandable Light Air Mobile Shelter Tactical Operations Center parts

Purchase Request/Identification Number: TBD

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $23,127.15

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

This acquisition is for various parts needed to expand the 341st Civil Engineering Squadron's Expandable Light Air Mobile Shelter (ELAMS) Tactical Operations Center (TOC) manufactured by AAR Mobility Systems.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), the property or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source or from a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, required by FAR 6.303-2(b)(4).

(2) When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for.

(ii) Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in --

(A) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, or

(B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. (See 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B).)

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

As AAR Manufacturing Inc. manufactured this ELAM, they are the only entity that can provide the associated parts required for this acquisition. Aside from AAR Manufacturing, no known potential offerors exist that provide the required parts for this acquisition, therefore, competition is not available at this time.

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

Until such time that commercial market conditions change providing other supply sources for similar parts or Malmstrom AFB procures other types of ELAM systems, there will be no capability to preclude future single source awards for similar items.
