LIMITED COMPETITION JUSTIFICATION - BOBCAT UW56 TOOLCAT_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document and Memorandum for Record supporting a single-source procurement by the National Guard Bureau for one Bobcat UW56 ToolCat utility work machine.

The Volk Field Civil Engineering Section requires a Bobcat UW56 ToolCat for various grounds maintenance tasks including tree and brush removal, snow and ice removal, earth work, landscaping, and general grounds keeping. The procurement is a new contract action with a firm fixed price contract type, funded under O&M (Operations and Maintenance) for the Air account. The contracting activity is Volk Field CRTC Civil Engineering. The procurement is being justified under 41 USC 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for solicitation from a single source based on a brand name request. The justification states that Volk Field currently operates two existing Bobcat UW56 units with compatible attachments and that adding a different brand would reduce efficiency, increase costs, and create operational risk. Market research confirms that numerous vendors are capable of providing this machine and identifies 2,072 small business vendors under NAICS code 331120. To maximize competition, the requirement will be set aside 100% for small business. The solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov for a minimum of 30 calendar days. The contracting officer, Seth I. Swieter, signed the approval on June 01, 2026, certifying the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable.
