Decision to Restrict Competition_FA813226QOO36 F117 Air Flow Test Machine.pdf

This is a Decision to Restrict Competition document for RFQ FA813226Q0036 concerning the F117 Air Flow Test Machine. The contracting officer, Jennifer Azbill of AFSC/PZIMC, has determined that only one source is available for this acquisition and is therefore restricting competition to Habco Industries, LLC under simplified procedures authority per 41 U.S.C 1901 and FAR 12.102(a).

The specific requirement is the Habco Air Flow Test Machine, Part Number CTE 7070, which is mandated by the F117 Series Engine Manual (P/N 1B2412) TASK 72-00-41-420-001. Habco Industries, LLC is identified as the sole qualified source because it holds exclusive proprietary data, design ownership, and manufacturing rights for this equipment. The company maintains strict control over the design and distribution of the product and has declined to sell proprietary data rights, rendering it the only available supplier capable of meeting the specified requirement.
