    Brand Name JA - Ditch Witch Trencher Attachments.pdf
    The document outlines a Sole Source Justification for purchasing specific Ditch Witch trenching attachments by the 36th Contracting Squadron. It establishes the necessity of acquiring the Ditch Witch BH120 backhoe, CT120H centerline trencher, and the RT120 low-angle backfill blade to make existing machinery operational at Andersen AFB. The justification hinges on the unique compatibility of these attachments with the Ditch Witch RT120, asserting that no alternative suppliers offer equivalent products without extensive modifications, which could pose safety risks and void warranties. Key statutory authorities cited include FAR regulations allowing for limited competition under unique circumstances. Market research indicates a lack of comparable products, confirming that only Ditch Witch can meet specific operational and safety requirements. Efforts to maximize competition included posting the requirement on SAM.gov, allowing potential resellers to respond. Ultimately, the document asserts that the anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable, given historical pricing data and quotes received. Certification by contracting personnel ensures the accuracy and completeness of the justification. This procurement process exemplifies adherence to government guidelines while addressing critical operational needs for the 36th Communications Squadron, thereby enhancing mission readiness.
