The document details the contents of two types of toolboxes, small and medium, with specific Electrical Item Description (EID) codes for each. There are 9 identical small box EIDs (SQRJC0020-SQRJC0028) and 4 identical medium box EIDs (SQRJB0020-SQRJB0023). Each toolbox and tool within these boxes is etched with its corresponding EID. The small box contains a 6-drawer black toolbox, foam, various standard and deep sockets (3/8in, 7/16in, 1/2in, 9/16in, 5/8in, 11/16in, 3/4in, 13/16in, 7/8in, 15/16in, 1in), adapters, pliers, cutters, screwdrivers, hammers, pry bars, safety glasses, and other miscellaneous tools. The medium box includes different quantities of similar items such as ratchets, various shallow and deep sockets (1/4in and 3/8in drive), extensions, speeders, combination wrenches, different types of pliers, hammers, and specialized tools like a flashlight and adaptors. The document consistently lists the item and its quantity per box for both small and medium boxes, indicating a standardized inventory for these tool kits.

The Department of the Air Force, Air Education and Training Command, is requesting the sole-source acquisition of Snap-On composite tool kits and tools with lifetime warranties for its Aerospace Propulsion High Bypass and T56/AE2100D3 Systems Apprentice Courses. This justification, dated July 14, 2025, highlights the necessity for specialized, portable toolboxes with custom etching and shadowed inserts for flightline operations. Market research, including contact with Grainger, Matco, and Snap-On, indicated that only Snap-On could meet the specific requirements for custom, portable toolboxes suitable for flightline maneuverability and that other Air Force bases also prefer Snap-On due to reliability and support. This request aligns with CFR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B), citing Snap-On as the only source capable of providing the unique and highly specialized tools required.
