About this file
This document is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Single Source Justification form for a sole source acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The procurement involves the installation of a cellular call-out system on a Thyssenkrupp (TK) elevator, which requires a specific TK elevator technician due to the proprietary nature of their elevator systems. The justification emphasizes that there are no other vendors capable of performing the installation on TK elevators, and market research was not conducted because of the specialized certification requirements.
The document is signed digitally by Faye Healy (Program/Project Officer) and John Skogen (Contracted Officer) on July 21, 2025, recommending and approving the sole source acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13. The justification highlights that TK elevators build and maintain proprietary elevator systems, and a TK certified technician is required for the installation in this specific building. The form is structured to demonstrate the lack of alternative sources and the unique qualifications of the sole vendor for this specialized service.
