Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

54 OSS is requesting purchase of the following in order to perform maintenance on Holloman AFB and White Sands Missile Range Radios and Navigation Aids.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

Air Force Engineering Technical Services (AFETS) advised the purchase direction/source for test equipment needed to maintain Air Traffic Radios and Navigation Aids. Current TO references to test equipment are obsolete and unsupportable through supply.

The development of procedures, setup files, and the cable kit for a US military purpose makes this ITAR. If we cannot control where the CX300 comes from, especially a foreign entity, then there is a risk of an International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) violation. Additionally, three other bases have already made this Sole Source Purchase: Misawa - FA520524P0075, Lajes Field - FA448624P0008, JB Pearl Harbor Hickam - FA521524C0042.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research was conducted and confirmed that Testforce USA is the only company able to provide these products. Air Force Engineering Technical Services was tasked with finding a solution for the whole Air Force and this is the result of their research.

Testforce USA is producing Air Force specific software that can't be purchased anywhere else. Verified that there are no BPAs/ IDIQs on GSA, NASA SEWP, or the AFICC Launchpad.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

In the future, the 49th Contracting Squadron will make efforts to enter early planning efforts with requiring activities in order identify requirements in earlier/predecisional stages in order to avoid acquisition concerns and adverse mission impact.
