Attachment 2 - Single Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification form for a Simplified Acquisition by the Air Force (AFLCMC/ROU) for the Next Generation Fixed Wing Helmet program. The testing requires windblast testing at a specific engineering facility, involving two 600 Knots Equivalent Air Speed (KEAS) shots with high-speed cameras and a test report. The estimated contract value is redacted, and the document justifies sole-sourcing due to the facility being the only private industry location meeting the windblast testing requirements for the Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request (MIPR).

Market research was conducted through internet searches and direct contacts, identifying two potential candidates in the research and development field. However, no candidates met the complete testing capabilities. The program office has historically used a vendor listed on GSA Advantage, though they are no longer on the website. The contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available, with the document dated 29-Sep-2025. The program office commits to ongoing market research to identify potential future vendors for windblast testing competition.
