FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

November 2018 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 325 FSS

Project/Program Name: Bowling System Equipment

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F4A37Z9192AW01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Bowling system equipment to include; machines, lanes, ball returns, lighting system and scoring system to interface with existing QubicaAMF brand POS, trouble call system (TCS) and multimedia system (MMS).

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

The bowling system at Tyndall AFB prior to Hurricane Michael was QubicaAMF brand. Since Hurricane Michael, a replacement POS system from QubicaAMF has since been procured. Additionally, Tyndall AFB's existing multimedia system and a trouble call system are QubicaAMF products that operate on QubicaAMF's proprietary software platform. The existing equipment for Tyndall AFB's bowling system is proprietary to QubicaAMF and will not function with any other brand of replacement equipment components.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition market research was accomplished through the Internet and direct communication with QubicaAMF and no other companies can provide equipment that will be fully functional and interoperable with Tyndall AFB's existing bowling system inventory.

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

The required QubicaAMF equipment is what the Tyndall Bowling Center had prior to the storm and replacement items of exact specifications is required in this case to fully restore system functionality. Future purchases of this equipment will not be related to this natural disaster and therefore preclude the need for single source or brand name awards.

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.
