Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: AFTC/PZI (Arnold)

Project/Program Name: 00015046 - S&M Test Unit Adaptive Maintenance

Purchase Request/Identification Number: FA9101-18-Q-0016

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

One LP-5000™ Dual-Channel Data Acquisition and Control Unit, one LaserViewer Analysis Software for PC (2017) package, one LaserViewer 3D™ Visualization and Analysis software package, Gun Tube Reporting software module - Smooth Bore, on-site installation, calibration and training and forty hours of technical support.

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

The required bore mapping equipment is only available from one source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy the requirements to permit full and open competition. If this requirement is filled by any other source, AEDC would be forced to procure a new system thereby wasting a $200,000 investment.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Considerable market research was completed through the Internet and known contacts who have been involved in supplying bore erosion measurement and inspection systems. Market research did not identify any other company(s) that can provide the products that could be easily integrated into the existing hardware without significant. A Notice of Contract Action was issued to FBO on 22 February 2018. No responses were received.

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

AEDC technical personnel will continue to keep abreast of market conditions to ensure that no other vendors can provide this service. In the event other sources are identified, competitive quotes will be solicited.

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.
