Contract - FA442725P0030 - Single Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Source Selection Sensitive document justifying the use of a single source below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for a Department of the Air Force contract. The procurement involves purchasing ForceTec tooling to install ForceTec nutplates on Travis AFB Airframes, specifically for the MFT 25-37 - ForceTec tooling project under Contracting Activity 60 CONS/PKB.

Extensive market research was conducted, including internet searches, government databases, and a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov, which yielded no alternative vendors. The justification highlights that ForceTec Technology is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the required components, with previous contract awards (FA480324P0040 and FA527018P0050) supporting their unique capability. A Dynamic Small Business Search found 384 profiles in California under the NAICS code 332510, but no confirmed vendors other than Fatigue Technology Inc. The contracting officer has determined, in accordance with FAR regulations, that only a single source is reasonably available for this requirement.
