AI Contract Overview

The 4th Contracting Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base plans to award a sole source contract to QubicaAMF Worldwide, LLC for the purchase and installation of specialized bowling equipment. This includes eight pairs of Xli Edge Pinspotters, a deluxe reconditioned tool kit, replacement kickbacks for pinspotters, Radaray Xli foul detectors, spare parts, and associated installation and training services. The equipment is proprietary to QubicaAMF, who holds exclusive rights to the existing system used at the base, and is necessary for compatibility with the Air Force Service Agency’s centralized financial system. Due to the unique nature of this product and the integration requirements, the contract will be awarded under the "Other Than Full and Open Competition" authority, specifically FAR 6.302-1, as no other suppliers can meet the agency’s needs without incurring significant additional costs or requiring major system modifications. Funding for this procurement is not yet available, and while the government intends to proceed once funds are secured, the solicitation may be canceled at any time without obligation to reimburse interested parties. The solicitation closed on August 19, 2014, and inquiries regarding the purchase can be directed to designated Air Force contacts at Seymour Johnson AFB. The sole source award reflects careful consideration of existing proprietary equipment, technical compatibility, and cost-effectiveness, affirming QubicaAMF as the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the Air Force's specific requirements for maintaining the current bowling facility operations.
