20 Apr 2017 Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 374th Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: Provide Supplies and Maintenance for Car wash Machines Annual Maintenance Contract

Purchase Request/Identification Number: N/A

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $26,855.50

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Quarterly Maintenance of both car wash machines is required to ensure functionality and sustain the fleet of vehicles. In addition, shampoos and three wax are needed quarterly to clean the more than 1000 government fleet of vehicles on Yokota Air Base.

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

Both CW-300Z and XF-702 car wash machines were built by the Manufacturer MK Seiko Co., Ltd. Supplies and servicing of the machines can only be done by the manufacturer because these machines are unique with their operating/software system and parts from other manufacturers are not compatible with these machines.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Beauty CO., Ltd. was contacted but indicated that they are not authorized to perform Maintenance on a product/equipment which was not built by them. The only way to increase competition would be if MK Seiko Co., Ltd authorized or certified another company to perform maintenance on their machines.

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

Since majority of the car wash industry is very similar, the only way to prevent this from happening would be if the industry moved to certifying or authorizing third party companies to perform maintenance on their machines.

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.
