This document is a Single Source Justification for a simplified acquisition for Runway Ice Detection System Maintenance at Ellsworth AFB. The contract will be awarded to Vasaila Inc. for maintenance services on their proprietary RIDS RWS200 system, with a Purchase Request number F1V3M13349AQ01.

The 28th Contracting Squadron/PKA Flight requires certified Vasaila RIDS RWS200 technicians to perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on the existing runway ice detection system. The justification cites FAR 13.106(b)(1)(i) for the single-source award, as only Vasaila-certified technicians can maintain warranty coverage. Vasaila Inc. provided a list of 6 certified vendors who will be solicited through SAM.gov. The contracting officer determined no steps can be taken to preclude future single-source awards due to the specialized technical nature of the system. The justification is signed by Contracting Officer Laurie A. Lykken on November 4, 2024.
