About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification Letter signed by the Contracting Officer for a Data Acquisition Console used in assembly maintenance at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex. The Data Acquisition Console is specifically designed for torquing procedures on 15th-16th stage tie rod nuts within the High-Pressure Compressor assembly. The current console is obsolete, causing production impacts, and the new AMD-109-156 console will provide updated software and a more compact design. The Contracting Officer has determined that Advance Mfg. Co., Inc. is the only vendor capable of meeting the government's requirements. Market research was conducted but no other vendors were found that could provide a comparable solution. The government will continue to explore options, including any authorized distributors, but has currently justified a sole source award to Advance Mfg. Co., Inc. for this specific Data Acquisition Console.

SUBJECT: Sole Source Justification P24-072 Data Acquisition Console
1. The data acquisition console employed in assembly maintenance is specifically tailored to this task, particularly for torquing procedures of 15th -16th stage tie rod nuts within the High-Pressure Compressor assembly. Uniquely designed for applications, this system is not only delineated in technical documentation but also necessitates the use of specific, included tooling (PWA86060) for its operation.
Upgrading the Data Acquisition console will provide the mechanics with an updated and more reliable system for this particular application and remove impact to production that the current system is causing due to being obsolete and eliminate single point failure that production is currently facing. The current AMD console does not show the angle torque values while applying torque to the 15th - 16th stage tierod nuts. This console was designed specifically for this application, . The new system AMD-109-156 Data Acquisition Console supersedes the current AMD-109 console with up-to-date software version, more compact design for the mechanic to use during maintenance.
2. The current AMD console torque system is current being utilized in front shop and referenced in tech data. The tierod torque system is used to torque the rear drum rotor disk assembly tierods. If calibration of this system is necessary, use the PWA 86060 Console and PWA 86061 Test Stand with the instructions which follow:
the PWA 81967 Software, PWA 81964 Driver, and PWA 81966 Adapter. The PWA 81964 Driver is attached to the torque system with the use of the adapter (PWA81966). but we were unable to find the equipment required in the TO.
3. Advance Mfg.Co., Inc. is the OEM for this equipment. The proposed sole source vendor is the only vendor that can satisfy the Government’s requirement.
ADVANCE MFG.CO., INC.
Address: 8 TURNPIKE INDUSTRIAL RD WESTFIELD MA 01085-1645 Phone number: 413-568-2411 CAGE code: 29293 Type Business: Small Business
4. Market research was performed reviewing Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) and System for Award Management (SAM) databases using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code (334111) looking for companies that could provide a Data Acquisition Console. Women Owned Small Business was conducted in search of a company that could provide Data Acquisition Console Posted RFQ1708305 to GSA AF Advantage, with 0 result. Direct contact Market Research was performed by reaching out to vendors who may be capable of completing this requirement. RFI requests, were sent to vendors. In review only one sole vendor can support this requirement.
5. Government will continue to conduct market research to determine if Advance Mfg.Co., Inc. has any authorized distributors and/or if any other manufacturers have/can develop comparable software to satisfy this requirement.
I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
