Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 97 CONF

Project/Program Name: 56ARS EFB Mounts

Purchase Request/Identification Number: F1B3R30112AW07

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $0.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

LTRM must be mountable/unmountable on the aircraft window sill without maintenance help or intervention and be compatible with PIVOT brand EFB cases. LTRM must meet all testing requirements necessary for approval by AMC A4. In addition to all testing, the 56ARS will require 10 mounts to equip all currently possessed aircraft.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

PIVOT is the sole source for this purchase request. The mount itself must be compatible with PIVOT brand EFP cases currently in use. PIVOT is the sole owner of the intellectual property (patents and otherwise) regarding their unique case and mount system.

No other manufacturers have access to this information. Military Pilot Supply (dba Flyboys) is the sole supplier of PIVOT brand products.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research was conducted and no other company could meet the requirements needed for the mount/unmountable LTRM without interfering with the line of sight for the aircraft pilot.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

In the future, if the purchase of this item becomes necessary again, 97 CONF will research the requirements to determine if they can be placed out for competition.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
