80760 - SSJ_PCO Signed__Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the procurement of two KT Piston Pumps (Model KT300D-S000) to be delivered to the 402d Maintenance Support Group at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia within 12 weeks ARO. The contracting activity is AFSC/PZIMA, and the estimated contract cost is redacted. The KT Piston Pump is a brand name, commercial item required to perform metal bond repairs on flight controls, radomes, and composite panels on various aircraft at the facility.

The justification for single source procurement is based on the pump's critical operational necessity and equipment compatibility. The original rotary piston pump system was purchased from Tuthill Corporation in 1992; MD-Kinney, Inc. (formerly Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems) acquired this business division in early 2021 and continues offering these pumps under the MD-Kinney brand. The OEM, MD-Kinney (a division of Ingersoll Rand, CAGE Code 9MC93), is not registered in SAM.gov. The document identifies DXP Enterprises, Inc. as the only authorized reseller for the East Coast region (CAGE Code 1Q486, SAM.gov expiration July 17, 2026) and PTB Sales as the authorized distributor for the West Coast region (CAGE Code 11ZW0, SAM.gov expiration July 10, 2026). Market research through DSBS, SAMS databases, and GSA yielded zero small businesses capable of providing the KT300D Piston Pump. The contracting officer determined under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) that only a single source is reasonably available due to the urgent operational requirement and lack of alternative suppliers.
