The document outlines a Single Source Justification for the maintenance of eight Kardex Remstar Vertical Carousel systems at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. The contract, initially solicited as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside, revealed no competition due to the proprietary nature of the equipment, which restricts servicing to authorized dealer Southwest Solutions Group. Insufficient bidding responses and an authorization letter from the manufacturer emphasize that any alternative maintenance invalidates warranties and prevents procurement of necessary parts. As such, the recommendation is to pursue a sole-source contract with Southwest Solutions Group. Future steps include exploring more universally compatible equipment to enhance competition and conducting market research for potential replacements. The document concludes with a contracting officer's determination that a single source is the only viable option due to existing circumstances, affirming the decision to exclude competitive bidding for this specific service.
