This Justification and Approval (J&A) document is for a sole-source contract with Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation for repair services of KC-135 Electronic Control Unit Assembly (ECUA) for the United States Air Force. The contract is a follow-on, firm-fixed-price requirements-type contract valued between $750K and $15M, with a proposed award date of 22 April 2025. The contract will cover a base year and four option years, running from 30 September 2025 to 29 September 2030, with various contract line items (CLINs) including major repair, recalibration, minor repair, and no-fault-found assessments.

The J&A justifies the sole-source procurement by asserting that Hamilton Sundstrand is the only known source possessing the necessary data, parts, expertise, tools, and test equipment to repair the specified NSNs. The 422 Supply Chain Management Squadron believes awarding to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling Air Force requirements. A Sources Sought Synopsis was posted on 29 April 2024 to identify potential sources, but no other companies expressed interest. The contract is being pursued under the authority of 10 USC 3204(a)(1), which allows for only one responsible source to satisfy agency requirements.
