Section A: General Contract Information

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

Contracting Activity: 325 CONS

Project/Program Name: UTS TM-60 Shelter Power Distribution Electrical

Purchase Request / Local ID Number:

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $164,638.53

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

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

UTS Systems, LLC is the only entity that manufactures the UTS TM-60 Shelter System. The power distribution panel being procured is the only compatible panel with the UTS TM-60. The specified UTS brand and part numbers are critical to this procurement due to their direct compatibility with Air Force Civil Engineer Center/ Civil Engineer Maintenance, Inspection and Repair Team's existing infrastructure, and field technician training program. Deviation from these specifications would result in significant operational challenges and expenses. The 801st RHTS requires these Shelter Systems and parts to perform realistic deployment training and exercises. Without it, mandatory pre-deployment training would be missed for hundreds of students per year.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The Government intends to solicit this requirement on the GPE, www.sam.gov. Additionally, market research will be conducted prior at any similar future requirements.

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

In the future and as necessary, market research will always be accomplished in order to ascertain if, due to changes in market conditions, these requirements will maintain the characteristics of a brand name acquisition.
