About this file
This document is a sole source justification memorandum for the annual maintenance, calibration, and repair of a Halliday Technologies RT3 Friction Tester located at Stratton Air National Guard Base in New York. The contracting officer determined that Halliday Technologies is the only source that can perform this work since it designed, manufactures, and is the sole authorized service provider for the proprietary RT3 unit. The estimated amount for the services is $26,682. No opportunities for future competition were identified at this time since Halliday Technologies does not outsource this type of work. The original RT3 unit was competitively procured in May 2020 and it was discovered then that Halliday Technologies would be the sole source for maintenance and calibration. The related federal contract opportunity is a special notice for the RT3 Calibration and Testing services with Solicitation Number W50S8J23Q0011 issued by the Department of the Army New York Army National Guard.

| _7_ PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACT_dWWFyKo3zgQ-e71MSrA2mA: Since this unit is proprietary in nature, no-known opportunities exist for competition outside of the OEM. With that said, prior to soliciting any future contracts for similar service, a market survey will be conducted to determine if the competitive environment has changed. | |
| _5_ PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACT_xMsHeIbKfGYdZx*NQZBzkg: The original friction tester itself was purchased in May 2020 as the result of a competitive procurement. It was discovered at that time that these units are generally proprietary in nature and therefore when it came time for maintenance and calibration, the manufacturer of whichever unit was purchased would likely become the sole source vendor for that service. The RT3 was determined to represent the best value to the government and was ultimately purchased. In conducting market research for this requirement, I reached directly out to HTI to inquire if they authorized any 3rd party vendors to conduct maintenance and calibration on the RT3. On 8 Jan 23, HTI confirmed they do not outsource this work | |
| _4_ UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THA_fxPS18NzthbsRqqrY5h47Q: Halliday Technologies (HTI) designs, manufactures, sells, installs, calibrates, and repairs the RT3 Flight. HTI does not outsource this work to any other company in the US; this information was verified directly with HTI. HTI has 60 units operating in Airfields, globally, with 55 within the United States. | |
| _3_ BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPL_UM33PhqLHArLIQSUjN*Zfw: This requirement is for the complete annual maintenance, calibration and repair of the RT3 Friction Tester which is manufactured by Halliday Technologies, Inc. and is located at Stratton Air National Guard Base, NY. | |
