Atch 2 Sole Source Justification Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a sole source procurement by the Air Force Materiel Command (AFLCMC/PZIBB) for Calibration and Preventative Maintenance of SBSS Particle Count systems. The specific equipment involves three Pamas Particle Counters (serial numbers 320-1196, 320-1202, 320-1208) located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The procurement includes laboratory instrument maintenance, technician travel, parts, and labor costs.

PAMAS has been identified as the sole qualified vendor due to exclusive technical expertise, proprietary documentation, and specialized knowledge essential for maintenance and repair services. Market research conducted by AFPET/PTPLA through GSA Advantage, procurement databases, and comprehensive internet-based supplier identification research failed to identify alternative suppliers. The government intends to award a sole source contract under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with the contract action scheduled for 21-Jul-2025. To ensure future market awareness, AFPET/PTPLA will maintain ongoing due diligence through industry trade show participation, continuous online market research, and direct engagement with potential vendors.
