This is a Determination & Findings document authorizing single-source procurement from Amphenol for mating connector components used in the F-35 Common Component Power Supplies Project.

The acquisition, managed by AFMC AFSC OL:R/PZIMB, procures six Amphenol connector part numbers with varying quantities totaling approximately 60 units. Specific parts include: P/N 10-507860-617 (Qty 6), P/N 10-507860-417 (Qty 18), P/N 10-507859-004 (Qty 6), P/N 10-507859-604 (Qty 6), P/N 10-507859-404 (Qty 18), and P/N 10-507859-003 (Qty 6). These connectors integrate power supplies with the Versatile Diagnostic Automatic Test Station (VDATS) via Interface Test Adapters (ITAs), establishing critical electrical and mechanical interfaces between Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) and the VDATS network. Delivery is not to exceed 24 weeks after receipt of order. The justification for sole-source procurement under RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name) cites incompatibility of alternative manufacturer components due to variations in physical tolerances and mating configurations that would compromise system integrity and testing operations. The determination was signed by Teresa Duval, Contracting Officer, on August 25, 2026, with approval authority delegated to the Contracting Officer per DAF Approval Authorities Matrix PM 26-C-11 and GSAR 538.7104-3(a).
