This document is a Single Source Justification form for a simplified acquisition, prepared by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RIKO) in April 2021. The contract is for High Power UV Optics, specifically seeking turning mirrors and thin film polarizers from Layertec GmbH. The government intends to negotiate a firm fixed-price (FFP) contract with a total estimated value below $15,000.

Market research determined Layertec GmbH is the sole vendor capable of meeting all government specifications for these specialized optical components. The justification notes that other vendors could not offer mirrors meeting the high-power requirements or thin film polarizers with the necessary specifications. The contracting officer has determined that a single-source procurement is reasonable, with provisions to re-survey the market for potential alternative providers in future similar requirements.
