This is a single-source justification for a simplified acquisition of lane cleaner for the Walmsley Bowling Center at Misawa Air Base, Japan. The 35th Contracting Squadron intends to award a contract to American Bowling Service, Inc. due to the necessity of maintaining operational efficiency with existing Kegel branded parts and services.
