Cable Braider BNJ_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the 22nd Maintenance Squadron (22 MXS) at an Air Force facility. The document seeks a cable braider for the 22 MXS Cable Braider project, with a Purchase Request/Local ID Number of FA46215181AW01. The requirement is for a cable braider to support local braiding of cables, wires, and tubing for aircraft maintenance, which will reduce outsourcing of equipment repairs and replacements and directly support the wing's operational maintenance efficiency.

The justification specifies technical requirements for Wardwell Braiders compatible with specific wire harness specifications for KC-135 and KC-46 aircraft. The procurement is a brand name or equal justification, with competition to be obtained through an RFQ posted on SAM.gov under a small business set-aside. The document indicates that for future awards, "or equal" models will be researched for compatibility with technical orders and mission needs. The contracting officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available, with the document dated November 2018 and the contracting officer's determination dated 05-Aug-2025.
