Att 02 JA FA480325Q0030 Gate Barrier Parts.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 20th Civil Engineering Squadron's requirement to replace 4-Finger barrier vault post assemblies for the RSS-2000 Wedge barrier system at Shaw Air Force Base Commercial Gate. The critical replacement parts must be fully compatible with the existing RSSI system, meet specific crash rating standards, and maintain the barrier's operational speed and braking capabilities. The document justifies sole sourcing from RSSI brand due to unique operational and safety requirements, noting that alternative parts lack necessary compatibility with existing electromechanical components.

The procurement involves Gate Barrier Parts under Purchase Request F3U3CE5086AQ01 PIID-FA480325Q0030, with the 20th Contracting Squadron conducting the acquisition. A "sources sought" market research was posted on SAM.gov from May 14-21, 2025, which identified 3 potentially interested small businesses. The contracting office determined that a single source is reasonably available, with plans to re-evaluate barrier system capabilities during future upgrades. The document emphasizes that using non-RSSI parts would require a complete system overhaul, resulting in significant cost increases and potential disruption to critical security operations at the Commercial Gate.
