Attachment 2 - Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification that accompanies a Special Notice from the United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBA at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The notice states the Air Force's intent to award a sole source contract for replacement parts for an X-Ray Photo Electron Spectrometer (XPS) located at Wright-Patterson AFB. The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as the authority to solicit from only one source, Scienta Omicron, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, as research revealed no other capable vendors for these specialized XPS replacement parts. The proposed procurement will be under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Equipment Manufacturing. Responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or exceptions within 5 business days for the government's consideration, but this is not a request for competitive quotes. The solicitation number is FA860124Q0078 and the anticipated award date is not provided.
