Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: AFLCMC/PZIEA Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

Project/Program Name: Fuselage Trailer Production Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

A manually operated hydraulic pump is required that meets stringent requirements. The total cost of this acquisition will be

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

The TR Engineering brand hydraulic pump and miscellaneous components specified in this purchase request is the only system available that has been designed to meet all of the AF's requirements. The pump interfaces with a trailer designed to use this specific system to meet pressure, input force, output volume, directional control valving, port configuration, and materials requirements. The pump system required must be configured to meet interface and valving requirements and be capable of mounting in a location separated from a centrally located hydraulic oil reservoir. All other hydraulic pump options have been surveyed and are unable to meet the specific combination of requirements for this application.

The TR Engineering hydraulic pumps have been used for the fabrication of four previous trailer sets and the function and quality has been proven in fielded use. The continued implementation of this pump is essential for continuity and standardization.

Procurement of any other system will result in fitment/interface issues with existing equipment designed to use this hydraulic pump; add undue cost of approximately $75k for additional engineering design, evaluation, and testing; and delay further planned testing with this specific hydraulic pump in the system environment by approximately six months.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The proposed sole source is the only known source able to satisfy the government's requirements.
