For information regarding this purchase, please contact A1C Christopher Harper at (801)-777-5082 APPLICABILITY OF AUTHORITY: Request award of this requirement to only one responsible source. The installation of this specific software will reduce overall maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) expenses resulting in maximum efficiency. The TC MAX software is the only program that can control and manage tools and equipment IAW AFI 21-101 tool accountability. The AFI 21-101 requires that the program track the issuance and receipt of all assigned tools, track authorizations/restrictions for special tools/equipment, track CTK and Support Section inspections as a minimum, track spare, lost, and damaged (removed) tools, develop and manage tool/equipment inventories, develop and manage deployment kits (import/export). TC MAX is the only software that is programmed to import the current TAS data within minutes which eliminates the task of having to load thousands of tools and equipment as well as the personnel and status. The program also needs to account for all tool kits, tools, and dispatchable equipment at the beginning and end of each shift, and the location of all items signed out must be tracked in the tool control program. 100 seats are required to be distributed to the support sections where tools and equipment are stored and inventoried. The SQL server must support and run the software efficiently without slowing down the process. All hardware associated with this purchase must be Trade Compliant. There cannot be any parts made in China for use on Air Force networks. Training will be required for anyone using the tool control software who works in the support sections. Snap-On is the only source that sells the software along with the SQL software and will provide the training to use it. Soaring Solutions who makes the software and server only distributes to Snap-On and will not sell via open market channels. This CTO allows the software to be installed on the Air Force Base Network. TC Max is now the standard tool control software for AMC, AFRC, and ANG.
