F3G3CF6175A002 SSJ CO Signed.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification for a Simplified Acquisition by the 99th Civil Engineering Squadron under the Department of Air Force.

The 99th Civil Engineering Squadron seeks to purchase, deliver, and install one Aircraft Emergency System (AES) unit with software upgrade, training, and annual maintenance. The contracting activity is identified as 99 CONS/PKB with Purchase Request/Local ID Number F3G3CF6175A002. The justification for single source procurement is based on Westnet's exclusive proprietary rights to the AES First-In Alerting Systems and the incompatibility of alternative sources with the existing fire station infrastructure. Westnet's current system is fully integrated with the flight-line and response infrastructure, and replacing it with a different source would require complete system replacement at significantly higher cost. Westnet holds proprietary rights to the AES and maintains no authorized resellers or distributors. To obtain competition, a notice of intent to award on a sole source basis will be posted via SAM.gov under NAICS 334290 and FSC 6350. The contracting officer, Erin Lilly (GS-12, DAF), determined on July 20, 2026, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available. The requiring activity will conduct ongoing market research to identify additional vendors for future similar requirements and support broader competition in future acquisitions.
