Attachment 4 - Single Source Justification.pdf

This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification form for a federal contract opportunity. The 673d Contracting Squadron intends to award a commercial firm-fixed-price contract to the 773d Civil Engineer Squadron (CES) for Svenska Industriborstar/Swedish Industrial Brushes (SIB) brand name broom bristles and cores. The specific requirement is for snow and ice removal equipment for the installation flight-line and runways at JBER (Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson).

The justification highlights that the SIB brand bristles are purposely built for specific snow removal equipment, with proven benefits including saving hundreds of man-hours in maintenance, reducing potential foreign object debris (FOD), and minimizing aircraft damage. The contract involves five new MB2 multipurpose plow/broom sets, with SIB warranting cores for 10 years. Two small businesses were identified as potential sources, and the contracting officer anticipates a fair and reasonable price will be determined through competitive quotations. The purchase request number is F1W3EB5185AG01, with the program focused on MB2 SIB Broom Bristles & Cores.
