About this file

This document is a justification for a sole source small purchase action for a Vermont Gage Pin Set. The federal agency involved is the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal. The justification cites that competition is not feasible due to the inspection equipment already in use by the agency requiring specific replacement parts and technical knowledge to interface with existing equipment and repair it to original functioning capacity. The justification also notes that different systems would require additional money spent on training personnel and modifying inspection procedures. The estimated cost of the sole source procurement from the original equipment manufacturer is $66,495.00 to be acquired by December 11, 2023.
