    Attachment 1 - Price Proposal.xlsx
    This government file outlines a procurement list for surveying equipment, likely for a federal or state/local agency. The main items include three Trimble R12i Rover/Base units with tilt compensation, configured for base and rover mode. Supporting accessories comprise dual battery chargers, base kits, TDL450B radios with associated battery and antenna kits, and hard-shell cases. The list also details two dual-clamp Tri-Max tripods, tribrachs, and a carbon fiber range pole with a bipod. For control and processing, the procurement includes three Trimble TSC7 controllers with QWERTY keypads, hard cases, pole mounts, extended battery chargers, and a desktop hub. Additional items are R12 receiver batteries and a 5-pack of 410-473MHz radio module antennas. Finally, the list includes one Trimble Business Center Survey Advanced dongle license with a one-year standard software maintenance, indicating a comprehensive solution for advanced surveying and data processing.
    Attachment 2 - Survey Equipment CLASS JA 7yrs 12Mar25 R1.pdf
    The United States Air Force (USAF) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition to standardize its land survey equipment with Trimble Inc. brand products. This class J&A, spanning fiscal years 2025-2031, covers an estimated contract cost of $69,528,195.46 for various Trimble land survey systems, software, and training. The decision is based on the proprietary nature of Trimble's systems, which are essential for mission compatibility, existing USAF training pipelines, and interoperability with current assets valued at $65.3 million. Deviating from Trimble would cause substantial duplication of costs, an estimated 3.5-year delay in mission capability, and a 5-year delay in joint service collaboration with the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, which also utilize Trimble equipment. Market research confirmed the lack of fully compatible alternative products. This J&A aims to refresh aging equipment, maximize existing training, and avoid additional fees associated with previous Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) procurements, ensuring readiness and cost efficiency for the USAF.
