Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 341 CONS

Project/Program Name: Concrete Forms

Purchase Request/Identification Number: F2WTB28180AW01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required 1 complete set of EZ-Footings 12" concrete forms from Concrete Forms Services LLC with all applicable accessories to support the 819th RHS mission requirements.

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).)

Concrete Forms Services LLC is the inventor and sole source for EZ-Footing aluminum forms. These forms are a proprietary product with no directly comparable products produced at this time by any other source.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

There is no availability to compete this requirement amongst similar items on the market. Concrete Forms Services LLC is the only known manufacturer of the required items and the only manufacturer that can provide warranty services and deliver parts when needed.

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

819th RHS would have to find a new way of performing excavation and foundation services. This is not ideal due to manning cuts and the current process being the most highly efficient method in regards to 819th RHS current manpower. Mission effectiveness and capability will suffer at the expense of both their own personnel as well as their worldwide customers in the absence of these products in their inventory.
