This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a cooling tower rental project at Building 654 on a military installation. The contract involves providing labor and materials to install a complete operational piping system from rental cooling towers, specifically a 125-HP vertical pump located in the north 654 parking lot courtyard. The rental towers will be 1,500-ton cooling towers (1) with a kit of parts including hoses, Victaulic fittings, couplings, elbows, and tees. The estimated performance period is 180 days, covering installation and maintenance.

The justification indicates this is part of a larger Civil Engineering project to replace existing cooling towers, with the current procurement being a critical component to ensure mission support. Market research was performed via internet searches, though a formal Request for Information was not conducted due to urgent needs. The contracting activity is AFRL/PZLEB, and the Contracting Officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available, citing the vendor's previous work on a related larger Civil Engineering project and the need to minimize disruption to ongoing operations.
