    Brand Name Justification - Airfield Lighting Vault BB6.pdf
    The document serves as a Single Source Justification for the replacement of components in airfield lighting systems at Travis Air Force Base (AFB), specifically the ACE I and ACE II boards on Constant Current Regulators to ACE III boards. The contracting authority, 60th Contracting Squadron (60 CONS), identifies ADB Safegate as the sole source for these components due to their proprietary nature, which prevents the use of parts from other manufacturers. ADB Safegate's technicians are necessary for commissioning the equipment, ensuring that it meets operational standards for air traffic control and civil engineering users. Although alternatives exist, the specific integration of proprietary systems necessitates this single-source contracting approach. To mitigate future instances of single source awards, 60 CONS and 60 Civil Engineering Squadron (60 CES) will continue to monitor the market and engage in competitive acquisition procedures as outlined in federal regulations. This document reflects compliance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) justifying the need for this sole vendor due to unique operational requirements.
