Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION

April 2021 CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION Page 2 of 2April 2021 CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION Page 2 of 2 companies could provide virtual reality training systems but they could not provide all the characteristics that were needed. It was further identified that only five of the companies off Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), or Augmented Reality (AR) training systems that include Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) scenarios. When all companies were evaluated SimX Inc.

was the only company that could provide the needed medical/TCCC scenarios along with the primary aircraft environments.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

Barriers to competition exist because only the SimX Inc. can provide the VR Training Systems with all the required characteristics. Therefore, until other VR Training Systems are compatible with HQ AMC/SGR needs, no alternative exists at this time.

HQ AMC/SGR will continue to research and attend vendor fairs to determine if any other support could meet the needs of the Government in the future.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
