5/21/20, 4:51 PM J6 Steam Motor Valves - Amendment 1
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on March 29, 2021 for motor valve actuators to be provided under contract FA9101-21-P-0006, awarded on January 15, 2021 to an unknown vendor for an unknown value. The justification cites the need for compatibility with existing equipment as the rationale for sole sourcing the valve actuators from the specific incumbent supplier, as no other options were identified at the time of award that could legally meet requirements, though the notice states competitive bids would be solicited should other alternatives be found.
