About this file
This is a Memorandum for Record documenting a justification to restrict competition to a single source for Kardex Biannual Maintenance services at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida.
The 325th Contracting Squadron (ACC) has determined that only one source—Kardex Remstar LLC—is available to provide the required biannual maintenance services for Kardex equipment. This determination is based on market research conducted with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), which confirmed that Kardex Remstar LLC is the exclusive authorized factory service organization for all Office, Warehouse, and Government Kardex Remstar equipment. The justification cites the OEM's requirement that all Kardex Remstar service professionals must participate in company-sponsored certification training programs to ensure quality service and support for product enhancements and improvements. The contracting officer certified this justification as accurate and complete in accordance with Revolutionized FAR Overhaul (RFO) 12.102(a) on April 17, 2026. The memorandum notes that the agency will continue to conduct market research and monitor policy to identify opportunities to remove barriers and increase competition for future device purchases if applicable. Questions regarding this justification should be directed to Samuel Pendleton or Angel Clarke at the contracting office.
