About this file
This Single Source Justification (SSJ) document details a sole source procurement for the Air Force Sustainment Center at Robins Air Force Base. The acquisition is for four Halon Recovery Pumps (Part Number HA1-15-2000-03-0), one Halon Oil Separator Assembly (Part Number H6-02-6000-52-0), and one Halon Compressor Assembly (Part Number HA6-06-2000-06-2), to be purchased exclusively from MSA Safety Sales, LLC, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The requirement is for the Commodities Maintenance Group to perform repair operations on aircraft parts and assemblies, specifically for the Halon 1301 Recy Unit Model-H1301.
Extensive market research was conducted using the Dynamic Small Business Search, System for Award Management, and GSA databases, which resulted in zero alternative small businesses capable of providing these specialized parts. The justification cites proprietary technical data, potential compatibility issues, and the risk of work stoppage as key reasons for sole sourcing from MSA Safety Sales, LLC. The procurement is a one-time supply purchase with a delivery timeline of no later than 60 days after contract award. The vendor is a large business with a CAGE Code of 8B9P7, and its System for Award Management registration is active through January 3, 2026.

Delivery shall be no later than (NLT) 60 days after contract award. The Government will accept partial delivery.
The Halon Recovery Pumps (Part Number HA1-15-2000-03-0) were previously bought
There is no previous history for the Halon Oil Separator Assembly (Part Number H6-02-6000-52-0) and the Halon Compressor Assembly (Part Number HA6-06-2000-06-2).
This is a sole source commercial requirement. Due to the circumstances described herein, the activity requests authority to acquire four (4) Halon Recovery Pumps (Part Number HA1-15-2000-03-0) , one (1) Halon Oil Separator Assembly (Part Number H6-02-6000-52-0), and one (1) Halon Compressor Assembly (Part Number HA6-06-2000-06-2) using Other Than Full and Open Competition (OTF&OC) prescribed by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). MSA Safety Sales, LLC is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the required parts (see OEM letter attached). Technical data is proprietary to the manufacturer. The OEM was contacted on March 21, 2025 about selling the data rights, the OEM is not willing to sell the data rights in accordance with the OEM verification (see attached OEM letter). Any other vendor would require significant research and development to provide components that are identical in form, fit, and function to the parts requested. The government has not pursued proprietary data rights acquisition because it does not have the industrial manufacturing capability required to leverage the data. Choosing another product or vendor would cause irreparable harm to the operations already in use in terms of compatibility issues and the delays and costs associated with a major system redesign.
