Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

SOURCE SELECTION SENSITIVE

March 2018 SOURCE SELECTION SENSITIVE Page 2 of 2

Conclusion: Although there are several small businesses of differing socioeconomic categories capable of providing and servicing a Fuel Tank Storage System, the current contractor confirmed that the company has proprietary rights to the equipment and its software, which does not allow technicians from other vendors to service the VTSS being utilized at

HAFB.

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

Future VTSS contracts will consider the monetary loss/gain as a result of replacing all VTSS and EAFTSS at Holloman AFB to promote a competitive environment. Holloman AFB requiring activity will conduct a cost/benefit analysis and consider the risks/ rewards of solidifying a multi year services contract with a business that uses proprietary software without any authorized re-sellers/distributors.

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.
