Attachment 4 - Brand Name Justification_Omega Technologies.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the U.S. Air Force, specifically for the 28 CONS Contracting Activity. The procurement is for brand name Eddie Bolt Kits and Hi Lock Kits for the new B-21 Low Observable (LO) facility at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota. The purchase request number is F1V0A65252A001, and the estimated contract cost is redacted.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on compatibility requirements. Omega Technologies tool kits (Eddie Bolt Kits and Hi Lock Kits) are currently used in Edwards AFB CTKs, and DAFI 21-101 paragraph 8.3.4 mandates standardization of tools to the maximum extent possible. The procurement ensures 100% compatibility with the world's first sixth-generation aircraft. The document notes that small businesses authorized as Omega Technologies tool resellers exist on SAM.gov, suggesting potential for future competition. Market research will continue to be used to monitor potential market changes that might affect brand name considerations.
