JA_SS - Fence Cleaner Tractor Attachments_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 366 Civil Engineering Squadron's procurement of two Fence Cleaner tractor attachments from Stelner Repair, Inc. The specialized equipment is designed to clear debris and tumbleweeds from the perimeter fence line at Mountain Home Air Force Base, with integrated brush and crushing mechanisms to prevent fence damage and re-accumulation of debris. The procurement is a firm fixed-price contract justified by Stelner Repair's exclusive patent and unique technology, with no alternative suppliers identified through extensive market research.

The document details that the fence cleaning equipment has dual functionality: removing debris using a large brush attachment system and pulverizing collected tumbleweeds to mitigate Foreign Object Debris (FOD) risks on the flight line. Stelner Repair will provide direct delivery, on-site assembly, and comprehensive training for the Civil Engineering Squadron. The Contracting Officer has determined that a single source procurement is reasonable, with the contract anticipated to be awarded on 21-Jul-2025, and the document suggests ongoing market research to potentially identify alternative vendors in the future.
