Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a "Justification for Sole Source Small Purchase Action" which explains the rationale for acquiring goods or services on a noncompetitive basis. It details why competition is not feasible or practicable for a specific acquisition.

• Acquisition Details: Identifies the proposed acquisition as an INA (Schaeffler) Axial Radial Cylindrical Roller Bearing Measurement System with an estimated cost of $65,000.00.
• Reasons for Non-Competition: Cites reasons such as the need for direct replacement parts that interface with existing equipment, the requirement for specialized service knowledge, proprietary rights to software/hardware, and the unavailability of complete technical data from other sources.
• Brand Name Justification: Specifically states the acquisition will be on a brand name basis, requiring solicitation of available distributors.
• Contracting Officer Determination: Includes the signature and date of the Contracting Officer, along with a waiver for Legal Review.
• Specific Product: The attached "Brand Name Justification" further specifies the need for two (2) INA (Schaeffler) YRTCMA460-XL Axial-Radial Cylindrical Roller Bearings with a Fully Integrated Absolute Angular Position Measurement System for the Profile Verification Process Redevelopment (PVP-R) Project.
• Sole Source Rationale: Explains that while other manufacturers may offer bearings meeting performance specifications, they do not provide the integrated measurement sensor or cable. Procuring these separately from third parties would increase costs and time. INA (Schaeffler) is identified as the only manufacturer capable of providing the comprehensive solution.

This document indicates that the government intends to procure a specific brand name item (INA/Schaeffler) on a sole-source basis due to unique requirements. Bidders who are distributors of INA (Schaeffler) products may be interested in this opportunity. It also highlights the specific technical requirements for the measurement system, which could inform potential suppliers of related components or services if the sole-source justification were to be challenged or if future opportunities arise.
