Evaluation
This is a justification for sole source procurement, not a solicitation for proposals. Competition is limited to the sole authorized vendor, Advanced Office Systems, Inc. The Contracting Officer will determine if the contract cost/price is fair and reasonable.
Additional Notes
Kardex, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), has designated Advanced Office Systems, Inc. as the only authorized retailer/servicer for its megastations in Northern California. Using non-Kardex equipment poses risks of incompatibility, operational disruption, loss of power management control, compromised safety, increased long-term costs, and operational inefficiencies. Failure to abide by this exclusivity would cause operational degradation at Travis AFB.
