Single Source J and A ARFF P19 Lease Signed.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document for an Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) P-19 1,500-gallon crash vehicle lease at Cannon AFB. The requirement is for a 3-month initial lease period from March 1 to December 31, 2025 (with optional 6 months) to address a critical shortage where 5 out of 7 crash trucks are in maintenance, leaving only 2 operational vehicles across Cannon AFB and MAFR locations.

The justification cites FAR 6.302-2(a)(2) due to the urgent operational need, as the current loaner vehicle from Goodfellow AFB must be returned by February end. Market research found no suitable alternatives through various channels including GSA eLibrary contractors, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled, and command spare vehicles. Only Fire Trucks Unlimited provided a quote for $83,000. The document outlines how the shortage impacts mission requirements for C-130 aircraft support, which requires minimum 3,740-gallon firefighting capability. The contracting officer determined single source procurement was reasonably justified given the circumstances and signed the document on January 31, 2025.
