Brand Name Sole Source JA for Y-Cord REDACTED.pdf

The document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a Headset Y Cord Adapter, prepared by the 301st Fighter Wing at Naval Air Station JRB in Fort Worth, TX. The procurement involves acquiring 20 units of a specific headset adapter (NSN 5995-01-692-4005) for F-35 aircrew communications, with a sole source award intended for States Kaney Aerospace. The adapter is a rigid device with interference impedance reducing sound distortion, comprised of three main parts: an ANR Connector, ANR Cable Receiver, and ACCES Cable Receiver, with detailed technical specifications provided for each component.

The justification indicates that this is the only flight-approved adapter for the F35 aircrew communication system, with the JTD F35A-PFE-001, Table 19 maintaining proprietary rights to all part numbers, drawings, and schematics. The contract action is not a competitive procurement, with a notice of intent published to allow interested parties to respond by 10:00 AM CST on 17 June 2025. The contracting officer, Todd C. Benner (GS-12), has determined that only a single source is reasonably available, and market research will be performed for future requirements to potentially support competitive procedures.
