About this file

This Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document supports a federal contract for the 99th Civil Engineering Squadron (CES) at Nellis Air Force Base to procure two specific pressure contact switches from Square D. The required items are a BP34020E Square D, 2000 Amp, Bolt-Loc Bolted Pressure Contact Switch (3 Pole, 480 Volt, 200kA@600V) and a BP3408I Square D, 2000 Amp, Bolt-Loc Bolted Pressure Contact Switch (3 Pole, 480 Volt, 200kA@600V), both with 120vac shunt trip.

The document justifies a single-source procurement because the existing electrical enclosures are specifically designed by Square D, and the required switches are obsolete and only available as refurbished. Market research identified two businesses capable of fulfilling the requirement, and the procurement will be a small disadvantaged business set-aside. The contracting officer has determined, per FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available. The document also commits to conducting ongoing market research to identify potential alternative manufacturers for future procurements.
