Summary

This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition by the 36th Contracting Squadron at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. The 36th Maintenance Group requires specialized contractor services to diagnose and repair two non-operational FCX Systems Inc. frequency converters (Model PFC072) located in Hangars 2 and 3. These 400Hz power converters are critical to aircraft maintenance, avionics testing, and pre-flight operations. The contractor must perform comprehensive diagnostic evaluation to identify root cause of failure, deliver a detailed written report with actionable cost proposals for repair or replacement, and certify that power output quality complies with all aircraft and OEM performance specifications. Following certification, the contractor will conduct aircraft-connected testing to verify system acceptance, with all work performed in accordance with OEM technical guidance, industry standards, and applicable Air Force instructions.

The justification establishes FCX Systems Inc. as the sole source based on three primary factors: OEM status (FCX Systems Inc. exclusively manufactures and sells the PFC072 model with sole ownership of all intellectual property and proprietary designs), exclusive diagnostic tools (proprietary software and specialized test equipment unavailable to third-party vendors), and certified technician requirements (SOW explicitly mandates OEM-certified personnel to ensure compliance with aircraft power quality specifications and mitigate risk to multi-million dollar aircraft systems). Market research included a publicly posted Sources Sought notice yielding zero responses, and historical procurement data showing consistent sole-source awards to FCX Systems Inc. across multiple government agencies. The acquisition is not a Bridge Action, and steps for future competition include developing performance-based specifications and obtaining technical data rights for new system acquisitions.
