The scope of work with relation to the limited sources includes the construction of a new 19,000 square foot F-35 Simulator Facility as well as construction of a 39,000 sf Supply facility. This project includes a portion of a Pedestrian Concourse that projects to combine multiple facilities together. This Pedestrian Concourse will be constructed with pavers. The final product of the Pedestrian Concourse will not be seen until 5 projects are completed. A percentage of this walkway will be constructed in each of the five different projects.

Text6: United States Code 3304(a)(1) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

Text7: In order to ensure a uniform appearance through the entire Pedestrian Concourse, the product used to construct the Pedestrian Concourse for each project must be the same product used in each of the five projects. The justification for limited source is to ensure color consistency and an overall uniform appearance of the Pedestrian Concourse.

Risk: The Pedestrian Concourse, although broken across multiple project scopes, is continuous and the potential use of multiple paver manufacturers would result in inconsistency of size, color, and finish of pavers that would have a detrimental impact to overall aesthetic of the concourse. The concourse will cover a span of ground including the Base Supply, the F-35 Simulator, the Squadron Operations Building, the Aircraft Maintenance Unit, and the Weapons Load Training projects.
