SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLE AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION, WHICH LIMTS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENTS REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS “ONLY KNOWN SOURCE” OR “ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE “ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE THE

CUSTOMER SHALL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE.

The selected Automated Box Machine (ABM) must expertly train students on fabricating fiberboard boxes in the most efficient way for shipment. In addition to maximizing the protection and preservation of shipping material, the ABM must be in full compliance with MIL-STD-2073, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D5118, 4727. Lastly, the ABM must be able to package HAZMAT reference books and course materials shipped to the DAC satellite locations and Mobile Training Sites (MTTs) worldwide.

5. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC THAT LIMIT AVIALIABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. MOST RECENT MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED (INCLUDE DATES & DETAILS). IF MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT

CONDUCTED, EXPLAIN.

T-ROC EQUIPMENT, LLC sells high quality machinery that meets and exceeds the ASTM D5118 and D4727 requirements along with DAC's foundational requirements as an instructional tool. T-ROC EQUIPMENT, LLC has provided DAC with high quality equipment that has managed to well exceed its operational life expectancy despite the rigorous training environment DAC maintains. T-ROC EQUIPMENT,LLC machine will facilitate streamlining and enabling core ISO processes and design control, part/spare parts/BOM management, maintenance and cross-functional processes with existing compatible T-ROC (on-hand) equipment, reducing the complexity that is exacerbated by disparate systems.

6. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING SYSTEM, IF APPLICABLE, & NON-CONPATIBILITY COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURING AND/OR

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS.
