5. Reasons for Authority Cited:

a. Air Force policy requires that Locally Manufactured Equipment (LME) be procured in one of two ways. The first is to buy the raw material through the supply system and have the Metals Technology Section machine them. We don’t have the capability to machine tools locally. The other process is to use a company approved on the Munitions Materiel Handling (MMHE) website.

b. After reviewing the LME manufacturers list on the MMHE Focal point, Grainger, Snap-On and Zitec were identified as the only vendors approved to provide the required tools. A request for quote was sent to each of the approved vendors.

c. All of the locally manufactured tools AF Form 1655’s (Engineering Drawings) include the following disclosures:
