The document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a Sole Source acquisition concerning the repair of a Bucket Truck for the 19th Logistics Readiness Squadron at Little Rock Air Force Base. The acquisition, estimated at $34,125.42, requires this J&A because ALTEC, the original equipment manufacturer, is the only source authorized to provide the necessary parts. This limitation arises from the inability of third-party suppliers to guarantee the authenticity and reliability of ALTEC parts, which affects warranty and liability considerations. Despite attempts to solicit offers from other businesses, including Waynes World Truck and Terex, no other dealers can legally provide the required OEM parts due to exclusivity agreements. The groundwork for this sole source acquisition aligns with FAR regulations, emphasizing that competitive options would not yield viable alternatives and could result in excessive costs to the government. In summary, the J&A underscores the necessity of engaging ALTEC for warranty protection and service continuity, while affirming that efforts to identify potential vendors will persist for future acquisitions. The J&A specifically addresses the lack of alternative vendors and the unique qualifications of ALTEC as the sole source provider.
