The Trimble Navigation Limited 5700 RTK-PB05 GPS Surveying System is the only brand name/sole source and sole manufacturer that can satisfy the Government?s requirements. The North America Industry Classification System Code [NAICS] is 334519 and the size standard is 500 employees. All responsible sources may submit a response, which if timely received, will be considered by 10MSG/LGCB. This synopsis is for notification purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this synopsis. ?See Note 22?. Attached herein is the Sole Source Justification reviewed and approved by USAFA/JA for legal sufficiency. 30 June 2006 MEMORANDUM FOR 10 ABW/LGCB FROM: USAFA/DFCE SUBJECT: Justification for Sole Source 1. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is preparing to purchase GPS survey equipment used to support academic classes. The only acceptable product is the 5700RTK-PB05 GPS surveying kit manufactured and distributed by Trimble Navigation Limited because this equipment is the DoD standard. We estimate the cost of this requirement to be about $112,600.00 (attachment 1). 2. The 5700RTK-PB05 surveying system has been standardized by the USAF, Marines, Army, and Navy. The Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency has issued this equipment to most Civil Engineer UTCs containing engineers. The Air Force Civil Engineer training detachment at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, and the Silver Flag Schools teach this make/model and no other equipment is authorized. 3. Military unique software programs, not available on the commercial market, are loaded into these systems making them ?controlled items?. As such, this model is not available to any Trimble distributor. It is only available to the US Military and approved Foreign Military Sales countries directly from the manufacturer, Trimble Navigation Limited. 4. Based on the above information, we recommend the 5700RTK-PB05 GPS surveying kit manufactured and distributed by Trimble Navigation Systems as the only product capable of meeting the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering?s requirement to provide cadets with hands-on applications they will see once they move on to the operational Air Force. The requiring activity certifies that the information provided to support this recommendation is complete and accurate to the best of our knowledge. Copies of supporting documentation can be obtained from the requiring activity. John L. Agnew, TSgt, USAF Superintendent, Civil/Environmental Laboratories Attachments: 1). Cost Estimate
