I. Contracting Activity.

9th Contracting Squadron, 9th Reconnaissance Wing Beale AFB, CA Single Source Justification, Purchase Request No. F1H2JC5176AW02

II. Nature and/or description of the action being processed.

This sole-source requirement is a firm-fixed price order to be acquired under Midwest Aircraft Machine & Tool Company.

III. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs.

AE3007H Engine maintenance stand is required to conduct On-The-Job training for aircraft maintenance personnel because the existing device utilized is a shipping crate used for transport. The requirement is for the three pieces of equipment listed in Section V. This equipment will be utilized for instruction and access to other parts of the engine for training.

IV. Statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition.

6.302-1 – 10 USC 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements FAR 6.3 & 13.501(a)

V. Demonstration that the contractor's unique qualifications or nature of the acquisition requires the use of the authority cited above (applicability of authority).

The items required to assemble an engine maintenance stand for the Rolls Royce AE3007H engine used in the Global Hawk aircraft can only be obtained from Midwest Aircraft Machine & Tool Company, which is the only authorized vendor of these items.

1. Stand, Engine Maintenance

2. Adaper, AFT Engine Handling

3. Engine Adapter, Forward Engine Support

VI. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable.

According to Rolls Royce Customer Support Representative, this company is the only authorized vendor. Also TSgt Seay made contact with Mr. Owen Korn/Midwest Tool who stated that they manufactured the product and had only one distributer Aviall / Boeing who is not a small business. Due to the nature of the product, the manufacturer being the sole source, it has been determined that a sufficient amount has been solicited.

VII. Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

A fair and reasonable price will be ensured prior to award through various pricing techniques, including negotiation if necessary.

XI. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before making subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required.
