Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition by the Air Force Space Command (AFSC/PZIMA) for a Hydrostatic Test System at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The requirement is for one Hydrostatic Test System (Part #9901HT-150/10LR-96x32x30), one Extra 2,300 psi max pump (Part #1923-150A), and four 15,000 PSI Rated Hose Assemblies (two 2-foot and two 9-foot lengths). The contractor must deliver all items within 8 weeks ARO, FOB Destination to DODAAC FA2082, Attn: Kristopher Semar, 402 CMXG, 455 First Street, Building 140, Robins AFB, GA 31098.

The justification for sole source acquisition is based on the critical operational need for this equipment. The current hydrostatic pressure tester in the 573rd Tube & Cable shop is a single point of failure that would halt aircraft tube manufacturing and testing operations if it breaks down, directly impacting aircraft maintenance schedules and mission readiness. The proposed equipment is uniquely specified for full compatibility with the current inventory of pumps and test fittings, a feature not available from other manufacturers. The government estimates that retraining four operators on alternative equipment would cost significant productivity losses. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is Hydraulic Technology, Inc., located at 4844 Cincinnati Ave, Rocklin, CA 95765, classified as a Small Business with a SAM.gov registration expiration date of November 5, 2026. Market research was conducted across DSBS, SAM.gov, GSA, and Google searches, with only Hydraulic Technology, Inc. identified as capable of providing the requirement. The contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), and the government recommends award to Hydraulic Technology, Inc. under NAICS 333914.
