The US Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), as part of the THOR3 (Tactical Human Optimization, Rapid Rehabilitation & Reconditioning) Program has a BRAND NAME ONLY requirement for: Power-Lift Commercial Grade Strength & Conditioning Gym Equipment. The Government will not award separately. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304-(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1 (a) (2) (ii), these items are determined to be peculiar to one manufacturer and not available from any other sources. Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for highly specialized equipment when it is likely that award to any other source would result in -- (1) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, or (2) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. (See 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B) or 41 U.S.C. 253 (d)(1)(B). The Power-Lift racks were part of the original competitive buy for the THOR3 Program in 2010 & 2011.
