    The Nebraska National Guard submitted a justification review document for a sole-source contract to procure a Model 8.0 Heavy Duty Tiger Tug for the LUH-72A Helicopter, valued at $36,640.00. The document cites 41 USC 1901 as the authority for soliciting from a single source, following FAR guidelines. The need for this specialized equipment arises from the inefficiency and potential risks associated with the current helicopter transport method, which involves manual ratchet straps. The Tiger Tug is the only product that meets the specific requirements for safely and efficiently moving helicopters in and out of hangars. Reviews indicate that the justification for not seeking full competition is adequate, supported by market research identifying only one source that can provide the necessary equipment. The contract is categorized as a firm fixed price and funded through Military Construction (MILCON) Army allocations. The logistics management officer, Joshua Pryor, and contracting officer, Patti Lee-Smith, have confirmed the thoroughness and accuracy of this justification. A solicitation for feedback will be posted on SAM.gov to encourage interest, despite the identified necessity for this proprietary solution.
