About this file

This sole source justification document identifies the need for cold working kits used in F-15 aircraft maintenance from the original equipment manufacturer or authorized resellers. The Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center plans to issue solicitation FA8571-23-R-0005 for an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to acquire these kits on a sole source basis. Market research found only one potential small business supplier that was deemed incapable of meeting requirements. The original equipment manufacturer provided three authorized resellers, two of which are large businesses and one a small business. The justification recommends a post on SAM.gov to solicit quotes from the original equipment manufacturer or authorized resellers due to the need for brand name compatibility and lack of alternative sources.

This query resulted in one (1) small business (see attached DSBS Query). However, the company was deemed not capable because the company does not provide the specific cold working items required. Each Part Number was searched in GSA, but resulted in zero (0) results returned. The OEM letter lists three (3) authorized resellers. Two (2) of which are large businesses and one (1) is small business.
