This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) form for a federal contract action under the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center/Production, Planning and Integration (AFLCMC/PZITB). The justification references Purchase Request/Local ID Number F3LTF16223A001 and is submitted in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) authority for sole-source procurement.

The document establishes that only one source can reasonably fulfill the Government's requirements without unacceptable operational risk and cost duplication. The justification identifies an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) as the sole source possessing proprietary technical data, software rights, and specialized tooling necessary for depot-level repair, refurbishment, and maintenance operations. The OEM maintains exclusive control over operational routines, diagnostic firmware, and communication protocols that have not been licensed or released to third-party repair facilities. The mechanical and electronic architecture relies on custom-fabricated, proprietary components for which the Government does not own the Technical Data Package or manufacturing drawings. The justification asserts that servicing by any other entity introduces unacceptable technical, operational, and performance risks. The document includes market research findings from historical procurements and Government sourcing platforms (DoD ESI, GSA Advantage, and NASA SEWP) confirming no alternative sources are available through existing Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) or strategic purchasing agreements. The Contracting Officer's determination confirms that single-source award is the only reasonably available option under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
