Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: 341st Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: Repair Water Well Drilling Machine

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F2WTB20133AW02

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $82,232.27

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The 819th Redhorse Squadron (819 RHS) requires the diagnosis and repair of a well water drilling machine (winch and air compressor). The Gardner-Denver mud pump will need complete overhaul of the pump pistons, oil stop head ring and oil stop packing kit. The power pack will need a cylinder head gasket, rubber liner sleeves, and guide bushings. Additionally, the well rig it will need a new dust tube assembly, cable rest pad, sliding guide frame, break -out wench, cam roller bearings, valve handle assembly, air cylinder, power view, fluid cylinder and pump bearings.

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

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), the property or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source or from a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, required by FAR 13.501(a)(1)(iii).

(2) When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for.

(ii) Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in --

(A) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, or

(B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. (See 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B)).

This requirement is sole source IAW FAR 6.302-1. GEFCO Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer for the 2013 GEFCO 50K-T Water Well Drilling Rig (Serial number: 907934). The well rig equipment is not only complex but the system itself is also proprietary in nature. GEFCO is the only company that has the knowledge and resources available to diagnose and repair the malfunctions of the equipment. The cost to the Government is anticipated to be fair and reasonable.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

In previous years, the Contracting Squadron has not found any vendors capable of meeting the requirements set forth by the customer. At this present time, market research does not present any available competition endeavors available for this acquisition. Furthermore, the Government received no response with capability statement in the response to the Notice of Intent to Sole Source issued.

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

There are no steps to preclude future single source awards of this acquisition due to the fact that GEFCO Inc.

is the sole source manufacturer for 2013 GEFCO 50K-T Well Water Drilling Machine and the only vendor able to provide this requirement IAW FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) and 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1). The only way to foster competition would be to procure a new well drilling machine that can be serviced by more than one company.

Procurement of a new well drilling machine is cost prohibitive and not in the best interest of the Government.

It is not reasonable to expect recovery of costs through competition.

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.
