Attachment 2 - Single Source Justification NFAC Switch Matrix_Redacted.pdf

This Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document justifies a sole-source contract with Precision Filters, Inc. for two 464kC 256x256 Solid State Switch Matrix Systems to support the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex (NFAC) at Arnold AFB. The procurement involves a Single-Award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a minimum guarantee of one complete system and a maximum of two complete systems, with the first system to be procured in the current fiscal year and the second planned for Year 3.

Each system includes multiple components such as a mainframe, power supply, control unit with Ethernet, graphical user interface, factory acceptance test software, input and output cards, interstage switch modules, and associated test equipment. The justification emphasizes technical compatibility with existing NFAC infrastructure, noting that alternative switch matrix systems would require complete infrastructure replacement, potentially doubling procurement costs. The contract is below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, with the brand name specification necessary to ensure compatibility with existing systems. Market research confirmed no other manufacturers can provide the exact required specifications without necessitating complete replacement of existing infrastructure.
