Project/Program Name: RHS Transformers & Switch

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F2WTB29212AW01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

This requirement is for for the purchase of two (2) VanTran 15 kV, 225 kVA transformers and one (1) S&C Pad Mounted 15 kV PME-9 Switch Gear.

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

Market research yielded no other brands could provide a comparable item to the VanTran 15 kV, 225 kVA transformer and S&C Pad Mounted 15 kV PME-9 Switch Gear that is also compatible with Luke AFB's existing equipment. Until such time that Luke AFB completes a mass replacement of existing equipment under competitive procedures, Luke must match existing equipment to maintain standardization and training/mobilization efficiency.

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

There is no current expectation that market conditions/availability may change precluding future brand name awards for this type of equipment. Until such time market conditions change, competition under competitive procedures for comparable items will not be sought by Luke AFB.
