This Single Source Justification document outlines the procurement of 10 commercial-grade high-speed slat belt treadmills designed for training in mountainous terrains, specifically for winter use in Alaska. The treadmills must exceed 12 mph and manage a 25% incline, features deemed necessary for physical training under local conditions. Extensive market research indicated that only one manufacturer, Woodway, could satisfy these unique requirements after an inquiry with the General Services Administration (GSA) and searches among other vendors yielded no alternatives. While there are other vendors selling Woodway treadmills, currently only they meet the customer’s standards. The contracting officer, Capt. David E. Logue, concluded that a single source procurement was justified, emphasizing a commitment to explore market developments in future acquisitions to encourage competition among emerging suppliers in the fitness sector. The document illustrates adherence to federal acquisition regulations (FAR) while addressing the current market landscape.
