Attachment 2_SSJ Nikon_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification form for a Nikon XTH225 ST X-Ray Machine Maintenance Contract with AFIT/ENY (Air Force Institute of Technology/Engineering and Networking Directorate). The contract covers an extended warranty maintenance plan for an X-ray machine that supports student research. Nikon is the sole source for maintenance and support of this proprietary hardware and software, with no alternative suppliers or authorized distributors capable of meeting the technical requirements.

AFIT/PZIBA is the contracting activity, and the maintenance contract was justified due to the expiration of the initial machine warranty. In an email dated 07 August, Nikon confirmed they are the only source able to provide maintenance, noting they do not sell parts to third-party repair groups. The Sources Sought document was released on 07 August 2025 with a closing date of 14 August 2025. AFIT/ENY personnel have searched GSA Advantage and the internet without finding an alternative supplier, leading to this single-source procurement approach.
