SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION FOR

ACQUISITIONS WITHIN THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD ($250K) UP TO FAR 13.5

THRESHOLD ($7 MIL)

1. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1) – actions up to $250k or 13.501(a) – actions up to $7million, I hereby determine that the MANTIS CRANE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR listed on MAPR615-519000093 is available from only one source, and competition is precluded for the reasons indicated below. There are no substitutes available.

2. This acquisition is restricted to the following source:

Company: TADANO MANTIS CORP Company Address: P.O. BOX 99, FRANKLIN, TN 27065 Company Point of Contact and Phone Number: STEVE ATHERTON 615-794-4556

3. The MANTIS CRANE REPAIR is estimated to cost

The MANTIS CRANE REPAIR is currently out of commission due in part system code error for which we have no reader to identify system faults and we have an inoperable auxiliary hook.

The crane computer is displaying an error code and will not allow the crane to operate without being repaired and the code cleared using proprietary software available only to the manufacturers technicians

4. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. The current equipment is <insert description of current equipment>, and the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system by <insert description of how the new item/service must coordinate or interface>.

A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement limits competition. The proprietary data are described as follows:

The diagnostic software required to troubleshoot, repair and reset the Mantis crane is proprietary to the Tadano Mantis Corp and only available to their technicians. Therefore, they are the only source available for this repair.

These are "direct replacement" parts/components for existing equipment.
