Attachment 4 Single Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition involving the Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Replacement Parts and Maintenance contract. The document justifies procuring parts and services exclusively from Reed-Joseph International Company for the ScareWars BASH system at Lajes Field, which includes procurement of parts in Attachment 1 and associated maintenance/repair services. The justification is based on the company's exclusive manufacturing rights for the majority of system components and their unique technical expertise.

The document details efforts to identify alternative sources, which yielded limited success. Market research, review of existing contracts, and online research confirmed Reed-Joseph International Company as the sole entity with manufacturing rights and certified expertise to maintain the system's integrity. The government acknowledges the proprietary nature of the system and will conduct continuous market research to potentially identify future alternative solutions. The contracting officer has determined, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation, that a single source is reasonably available for this contract action, with the acquisition scheduled for June 2025.
