About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The procurement is for a specialized Hangfire Override Module (HOM) tool for the MK 38 MGS system, with an estimated amount of $42,090.00. The document indicates that Butler is the sole source for this proprietary tool, with no other sources having access to the special tool required.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority, specifically noting "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements". The purchase request number is 52000PR250019162, and the document includes statements from GMCS (likely the government customer) explaining that no other source has proprietary access to the required special tool. The document is dated March 8, 2023, with an anticipated contract date of May 13, 2025, and includes a notation that no further actions are needed to remove barriers to competition.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)
SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as “This company has made its mark,” “This company is recognized as industry’s best,” and “This company is the leader in…” is unacceptable.
