The Contractor shall provide to the 402d Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG), Robins Air Force Base, the minimum purchase quantity rolls of three (3) separate Prepreg adhesives in support of the C-17s (see PD for full details).

2. JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLICITING FROM A SINGLE SOURCE

This Prepreg adhesive rolls are used to repair the C-17s. The adhsive shall use the same resin system from the same supplier. This is a technical /airworthiness requirement; validated through technical orders, process specifications, material specifications, and substitute materials research.

As such, this requires CMXG to procure all of the DMS 2288 material from the same source as the resin system source. CMXG/EN has only been able to identify two vendors that have a PrePregs with a same resin qualified to DMS 2288 Grade B, C and D material; Hexcel Corp. Salt Lake City, UT and Cytec Engineered Materials, Inc. Anaheim, CA. Cytec will not abide the governments terms and conditions, so the recommendation is to award to Hexcel Corp.

3. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION

Market research was performed reviewing the SBA and SAM databases using NAICS code 325211, 325520 and key words (Repair, aircraft, adhesive) returned 158 sources. However, Hexcel Corp is the only source that can provide this supply.

4. STEPS TO PRECLUDE FUTURE SINGLE SOURCE AWARDS

In an effort to remove or overcome such a barrier to competition in the future, the market will be scanned frequently for new companies that could satisfy the government's requirements. Where possible, the government will prepare future requirement descriptions suitable for full and open competition.
