MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

FROM: 122MSG/MSC

SUBJECT: Determination & Findings for Soliciting from a Single Source (W912L9- l 5- P-xxxx)

Requirement

Purchase of Twenty (20) each MXU-648 Refurbished Travel Pods, NSN 1680-01-538-0545

Determination

Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), it is my determination that the circumstances of the contract action deem that only one source is reasonably available and therefore only one source has been solicited.

Findings

Market research conducted by the 122nd Contracting Office discovered that EhPro Custom Fab, a small business located in Trinity Texas is the only known source for the above cited refurbished Travel Pod requirement. No other sources for this requirement could be located.

Research also accomplished by 122LRS personnel in SLYS Web indicated that the travel pods are no longer available through normal supply channels, therefore warranting the purchase of refurbished travel pods.

Given all the facts, it is the Contracting Officer’s determination that the circumstances of the contract action deem that only one source is reasonably available. As originally stated, it is therefore my determination that the circumstances of this requirement support solicitation from and award to a single source, EhPro Custom Fab.
