Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 48th Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: R-11 Refueler Truck Conversion Kit Upgrade

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F3B3LR4215A003

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $0.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The 100th LRS has a requirement for Mobile Pantographs to execute refueling operations but they've been changed to the recurring maintenance and minor repairs (RM&MR) program, extending maintenance and repair time completion and operational for mission support. By converting the R-11 Hydrant Servicing Module (HSM) to USAFE specification, it allows the 2x R-11s they have with HSM on them to be used in conjunction with the hydrants system. This offers more flexibility & capability in carrying out special refueling operations like hot pits and large frame refueling.

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

The parts and supplies are being purchased from the current DoD contract holder, Isometrics Inc. They are currently manufacturers for R-11 refuelers for the USAF. As the only manufacturer of the current R-11 model being utilized at Royal Air Force Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, they also are the only source for compatible parts for our fleet of R-11's. As the only source and currently under contract with the USAF, no other sources could be identified to produce such specialized a nature of the upgrade parts. As there are no other manufacturers or distributors of R-11's or parts, Isometric Inc is the logical solution to ensure proper synchronization of parts with current assets. Lastly, as the asset being modified is from a Sole manufacturer under an Air Force contract this is unavoidable, and procurement will be pursued as a sole source.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Internet searches, industry conventions, and prior contracts were used during market research in an effort to obtain competition. Market research identified multiple sources that provided a similar product but ISOMETRICS INC was the only source that could provide the parts/Kit that met all specifications.

FA853314D0001 - is the Base contract PIID for the R-11 Contract with the USAF

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

The commercial market should be surveyed continuously in efforts to locate additional sources for similar requirements. This will continue, but in the foreseeable future Isometric Inc is the only manufacturer and distributor of R-11 parts.
