    This document is a Single Source Justification for a five-year service and maintenance agreement for six Kardex automated storage and retrieval systems at JBSA-Randolph. The 502d Contracting Squadron requires specialized expertise from an authorized Kardex vendor, Southwest Solutions Group, due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and to maintain warranty validity. The justification emphasizes the need for genuine Kardex parts and certified technicians for preventative maintenance, repairs, and updates.
