25QA817 Single Source JA_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the procurement of KC-135 Eddy Current Inspection Kits for the 92nd Maintenance Squadron at Fairchild Air Force Base. The technical requirement calls for five (5) KC-135 Eddy Current Inspection Kits (SPCK-205/N2K) to comply with specific inspection protocols, including nose and main wheel probes, standards, cables, Teflon tape, and a Pelican Kit box. NDT Solutions, LLC (NDTS) is the sole source vendor after acquiring exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights from EC NDT, LLC in March 2021.

The procurement is justified because the Nortec 2000 flaw detector can only perform KC-135 wheel inspections when paired with these specific Eddy Current Kits, and NDTS is now the exclusive distributor. A Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.gov, but no alternative sources were found. The contracting office will conduct periodic market research to potentially reduce future single-source awards. The Contracting Officer has determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available, with the contract to be awarded on 09-Sep-2025.
