Other / Unclassified

This document is an "Absence of Competition Memorandum" for simplified acquisition procedures. It justifies procuring a piece of equipment from a single source based on specific circumstances.

This memorandum indicates that the government intends to sole-source an acquisition for a Bobcat 5600 or related equipment. The justification is that the Alpena Roads and Grounds already maintains a fleet of Bobcat 5600s, including attachments and parts, which are specific to that brand. Market research suggests that existing Bobcat attachments require modification to be used on other brands, and a specific component (7-pin CanBus controller) needs removal for compatibility with other machines. This document is relevant to potential bidders as it explains why a competitive solicitation may not be issued for this particular requirement.
