MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Sole Source Justification

1. Description of Services or Supplies:

Automotive Resources, INC. 1 each FL3-4 Forklift Adapter W/2 Center Ramps and Cart (15 pcs), 1 each FRLT-15, Front and Rear Light Truck Adaptor and

Cart (15 pcs), 1 each WS-12102, Two-Step Air/Hydraulic Jack, 220, 000 lb.

capacity, 1 each TR-10-108, Chassis Cross Beam and Support with Hold

Adjustments, Mobile Lifting Jacks/Adaptors, and additional Mobile Lift Systems.

2. Authority:

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) - For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization.

3. Rationale for Limited Competition:

The Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) maintenance procured one (1) each of the

Automotive Resources, INC 4 Post Lift System in 2014. The mission and safety require specialized attachments for the various automotive equipment that require maintenance: cross member lift points, front bumper lift points, and forklift lift platforms and plan on purchasing more optional attachments an additional system.

Procuring any other system, would involve considerable, additional operational training, and potential safety issues. Any other system would require the LRC to purchase additional auxiliary equipment because the lifts and their attachments are not inter-changeable. Purchasing other brand name equipment would not be economically unfeasible.

4. Requiring Activity Technical Certification:

I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
