Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 35 CONS/LGCB Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F3D4A16062A002

Project/Program Name: Wi-Fi Equipment Upgrade Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

$11,841.36

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The contractor will provide all personnel, equipment, tools, supervision, transportation, and materials necessary to perform service for the upgrade of the Wi-Fi system for Building 96 and 99, Misawa, AB, Japan.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

Allied Telesis Capital Corporation is the only commercial internet provider in the area that can provide the services on Misawa Air Base. Misawa AB currently uses Allied Telesis for Internet services, so the infrastructure is already in place. Finally, the suggested company has a 15-year contract with Army and Air Force Exchange Services (ATI-09-058) for Internet services on Misawa AB.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research was conducted to determine if any other vendor could provide the services. No other vendors have been identified. No other vendors have the infrastructure or capability to provide the service at this time. Efforts will be made in the future to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable by conducting market research to determine if the vendor pool has increased since this acquisition.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

Market research will be conducted at the expiration of this contract to determine if any additional sources can provide the requested services. If another vendor can provide the services then a competitive solicitation will be issued to ensure maximum competition.

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.
