Attach 3 JA Sole Source Justification Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification form for a simplified acquisition to procure Airfield Management Secondary Crash Net FIBER Transfer services from Forum Communications Inc. The contract, valued at $20,880.00, is being administered by the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command's 6 CONS/PKA contracting activity.

The requirement involves transitioning an existing telephone system that rings out to multiple wing agencies for emergency airfield/aircraft operations communications to a fiber connection. Forum Communications Inc is justified as the sole source provider because they have previously installed systems at over 79 military airfields, currently provide the visual feature and telephone infrastructure throughout the base, and are the only vendor whose back-end systems are compatible with the existing telephone system. A market research effort identified one other potential vendor (Telcom Data), but they were determined to be incapable of meeting the visual aid requirements specified in AFMAN 13-204v2. The contracting officer made a determination on November 4, 2024 that only a single source was reasonably available for this requirement.
