20 Apr 2017 Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: AFSC/PZIM

Project/Program Name: Test Stand Motor

Purchase Request/Identification Number: Not Yet Assigned

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

76 MXSG is requesting the purchase of one (1) Avtron Aerospace, Inc. 500HP DC Test Stand Motor, P/N:

A23912

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

This is a Brand Name Requirement.

Engineering configuration has been delegated to Oklahoma City - Air Logistics Center Commodities Maintenance Group (OC- ALC/CMXG). Given the strict parameters and proprietary nature of the acquisition, no substitute motors are authorized to integrate with the Avtron Constant Speed Drives (CSD) Test Stand, model number K938-S7.

Tinker Air Force Base is the only United States Air Force (USAF) depot capable of maintaining CSD, on a variety of weapon systems, and is the designated Technology Repair Center - the only organic capability in the AF for overhaul and repair.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The requested test stand motor is a direct replacement. Outside of Avtron Aerospace, Inc. components, no substitutes are authorized to be used with the Avtron CSD Test Stand.

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

The Government will continue to seek opportunities to expand competition as mission requirements permit.

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.
