JA Robotic Total Station Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the purchase of a Trimble S5 Robotic Total Station with tracking features for the 846th Test Squadron at Arnold Air Force Base. The contracting activity is PZ (Arnold) OL Holloman, with a TBD purchase request number and planned award date of December 12, 2024.

The justification explains that the Trimble S5 Total Station is required for compatibility with the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency's (NGA) Trimble Net R9 Receiver and GPS Real-Time Kinematics system. While alternatives from Topcon, Leica, and Sokkia were evaluated, they would require additional equipment purchases and are not compatible with existing systems. The Trimble solution is estimated to cost $33K, compared to $59K for Topcon and $34K for Leica alternatives. The document includes market research findings and confirms that only Trimble's solution meets the technical requirements for integration with existing GPS and precision measurement equipment, making it the only viable source for this procurement.
