requests authority to acquire Pistol Cordless Nutrunner with accessories such as Battery and Chargers using
Other Than Full and Open Competition (OTF&OC) prescribed by / FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). These tools are
critical tools used during the F-15 Landing Gear Emergency Operational Checkout. They are used to perform
the Tasks Order (TO) outlined in accordance with 1F-15E-2-32JG-00-1. In addition, failure to procure

channel for Atlas Copco in the southeast US, for previous requests we have opted out of quoting the AFB
direct as we are not set up to support directly. All quoting activities and sales have been through resellers”;
Mid - Georgia Industrial Sales, is the reseller. Other companies do sell similar tooling; however, those tools
are not modified for this specific need by the technician's workload on F-15 Landing Gear Emergency
Operational Checkout.
