A.03.11.00 Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition Ver.1 26 May 17

Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition.

Brand Name Justification

Control No: F8Y36D7342AW01

1. Contracting Activity:

US ANG

127 MSC

43200 Maple Street Bldg. 105, Rm 16 Selfridge ANG Base MI 48045

2. Description of Action:

a. Requirement: Construct ADB Safegate Constant Current Regulator

b. Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price

c. Contractor: TBD

d. Estimated Cost: $602,010.35 (Material)

e. Form 9 # F8Y36D7342AW01

3. Description of Supplies/Services: The Contractor shall remove existing SGRS Airfield lighting regulator power Distribution system and replace with new, approved ADB Safegate Constant Current Regulator (CCR) Airfield lighting power distribution system. The contractor shall replace identified current CCR airfield lighting circuits in airfield lighting vault as indicated in project documents.

4. Authority Cited: The applicable FAR reference is 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements; (a) Authority. (1) Citations: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) or 41 U.S.C.253(c) (1). (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.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: The existing Airfield Lighting SGRS electrical power source regulators are at their end of their service life, with spare components difficult to obtain. The lack of spare components availability for the air field lighting vault regulator system gravely jeopardizes the safe and effective flight line operations of Selfridge Air National Guard Base. The existing switchgear regulator system needs to be replaced in its entirety with an ADB Safegate CCR Airfield lighting power distribution system. The ADB Safegate CCR Airfield lighting power distribution system is the only known new regulator

A.03.11.00 Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition Ver.1 26 May 17 system that is backwards compatible to currently installed ADB Air Field Lighting Electrical Vault System on the Selfridge flight line. The Government Estimates that the replacement cost for a new Electrical Vault system for the Flight line lights would be at least $3,720,436.50. This estimate is based on the 1998 $3,382,215.00 flight line electrical vault project construction cost when inflationary measures are accounted for. Therefore it is in the best interest of the Government to install the ADB Safegate Constant Current Regulator system and save millions of dollars on the cost of constructing an entirely new Flight line Electrical Vault system.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: N/A

7. Actions to Increase Competition: The ADB Safegate Airfield Lighting System was installed as part of a major Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airfield Renovation project that transpired over 20 years ago. Future major airfield renovation projects that require a comprehensive lighting system replacement should not specify a specific brand of Airfield Lighting system from a specific manufacturer.

8. Market Research: The Government’s Engineers have performed market research and have been unable to find a lighting power distribution system that is fully compatible with the existing air field lighting system.
