Brand Name JA_T-11R SP_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the U.S. Air Force, specifically for the 4 CONS Seymour Johnson AFB. The document outlines a requirement for T-11R Reserve Single Pin Parts, with a Purchase Request/Local ID Number of F2MTRP506A001. The parts are necessary to modify T-11R Reserve Parachutes into a T-11R Single Pin IAW Ground Safety Action Message (GSA) 22-014, with the goal of preventing inadvertent parachute deployment.

The procurement is limited to parts on the Personal Parachute Program (PPP) Authorized Use List (AUL), with components sourced from Mills Manufacturing and Performance Design Inc. The justification for single source procurement stems from the highly regulated nature of parachute systems, where specific parts must meet strict safety and compatibility requirements. The Air Force Material Command (AFMC) manages parachute systems, and introducing new systems involves significant costs and testing. The Contracting Officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available, with the contract action dated for 18-Aug-2025.
