Attachment 3 - DandF Below SAT - UPDATED 28 Sep 2026 on Amendment 1 Use_Redacted.pdf

This is a Determination & Findings (D&F) document for a sole source acquisition justifying single-source procurement authority for Emergency Dispatch Consoles (Watson Furniture's Apollo Console) by the Air Force Technical Center (AFTC) and Phoenix Integration Office (PZIOB).

The procurement is justified under RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name) authority, as the Apollo console from Watson Furniture possesses unique physical, functional, and ergonomic capabilities essential for 24/7 mission-critical command and control environments. The console features a 14.5-inch deep reach zone with independently motorized electronic focal-depth and monitor-height positioning, isolating the worksurface from the display array—a capability unavailable in conventional consoles. The Apollo integrates localized climate control compliant with MIL-STD-1472H and AFI 48-145 standards to maintain operator alertness in low-temperature dispatch spaces, with all environmental controls and ergonomic adjustments consolidated into a single interface supporting individualized RFID credentialing. The determination concluded that no other commercially available console system integrates these combined salient features without substantial modification or failure to meet mission partner standards. The Contracting Officer, Joshua Vasquez (NH-III, DAF), approved the sole source action on September 27, 2026, establishing that the acquisition is justified under applicable federal acquisition regulations.
