This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) form for a sole source procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21. MRS intends to overhaul nine units of a Cylinder, Oxy Emerg (Part Number 5600-9C1A-X0K, NSN 1660-01-257-7101) on a sole source basis. The suggested source is Ametek Ameron (UEI: 3BQS0), located at 1350 Lincoln Avenue, Suite 2, Holbrook, New York 11741-2254.

The justification for sole source selection is based on the determination that the items to be overhauled are unique to a specific aircraft and that Ametek Ameron is the authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) overhaul facility. As the OEM, Ametek Ameron (Cage Code 3BQS0) owns all technical data and specifications and has been determined to be the only economical source capable of performing this overhaul work. The contracting officer employed market research and comparison of proposed pricing with prices found reasonable on previous purchases as the methods for determining fair and reasonable pricing. The procurement is justified under the "Only One Source is Available" justification type, citing the specialized nature of the overhaul requirements and OEM authorization.
