This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for the United States Air Force, specifically for the F-22 Program Office. The document justifies a sole source procurement from Eaton Aeroquip LLC for critical hose equipment components. The contract will provide 93 components for support equipment parts, including male quick disconnect fitting AE78506H, female quick disconnect fitting AE78505H, and hose assembly AE10105730320, to be shipped to bases determined by the F-22 Program Office under RCN 87651.

The procurement is for Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) parts to support F-22 maintenance operations, with an anticipated award date of April 2025 and an estimated performance period from April 2025 to February 2026. Eaton Aeroquip is identified as the sole proprietary owner of these specific part numbers and the only source capable of providing these critical components. The contracting officer determined the pricing to be fair and reasonable based on commercial market pricing, and market research confirmed sufficient vendor capability to supply the required Eaton brand equipment.
