100 LRS Swivel Nozzle - BN JA Redacted.pdf

The document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 100 LRS/LGF requirement to procure 17 D-3 single point nozzles for military aircraft refueling. The project, designated as the "100 LRS Swivel Nozzle" with Purchase Request/Local ID F3B3C15107AF01, requires specific D-3 nozzles from CLA-VAL or JC Carter brands, which differ from previous models by featuring a swivel on the throat to adjust to SPR (Special Purpose Refueling) locations.

The Air Force has determined these specific nozzles are the only acceptable options due to strict criteria outlined in military directives (36A12-13-17-92 and T.O 00-25-172), which limit refueling capability to 44% of units. The document confirms that CLA-VAL was contacted and allows third-party redistribution, and the contract's brand name status was determined at an Air Force level, with potential for alternative options in future directives. The contracting officer has determined that a single source procurement is reasonably available, with the document dated 09-Jun-2025 and signed by TSgt Victoria Quota.
