Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 97th Contracting Flight

Project/Program Name: Replace "A Circuit" switch at switching station

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F1B3R25247A001

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $0.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Replace the VWVE Oil Recloser Switch and all associated parts and materials to make circuit "A" at the Altus AFB main switching station fully functional again.

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

Western Farmers Electric Cooperative is the sole electric provider for Altus AFB and will be able to operate the backup generator and switch power on and off as needed, without coordination from any outside agency. The switch was damaged beyond repair on 8/24/22025 due to a squirrel intrusion into the switch wiring. Circuit "A" is currently being run through an emergency backup method to power multiple facilities on base. If the backup system fails, multiple buildings including flight simulator training facilities, the base gym, lodging, and many others will be without electrical power for an undetermined amount of time.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Western Farmers Electric Cooperative is the sole provider of electric power to Altus AFB and therefore can provide the specialized labor and materials to complete this task quickly in order to prevent the loss of electric power to mission critical facilities on base.

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

The Government has posted a notice of intent for a sole source contract action to identify future opportunities to preclude single source awards for similar requirements in the future.

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.
