Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

November 2018 Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 325 CONS/PKAC

Project/Program Name: 823 RHS Silver Flag M4A1 JCAD PlumeSim System

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F4ATD19113AW01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

1. 2 EA M4A1 JCAD-SIM System FGO-ARG272-LUS

2. 1 EA PlumeSIM Upgrade to new multi flow PlumeSIM, supporting 25 player units to 10 CWA

3. 2 EA Upgrade Player units for PlumeSIM

4. 10 EA Additional Player units for PlumeSIM

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

J.G.W. International Inc.is the sole source capable of providing the supplies required because the JCAD and PlumeSIM system is proprietary and unique to J.G.W. Software upgrades are required for existing systems and the additional units needed are required to be compatible.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research revealed the subject requirement is unable to be satisfied through any of the mandatory sources listed at FAR 8.002. Documentation of these findings are located within the contract's electronic file.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

Research will be conducted to determine whether or not the Government's current inventory of PlumeSim Joint Chemical Agent Devices (JCAD) are compatible with non-PlumeSim JCADs. Additional research will be conducted to determine if other sources are capable of providing JCAD devices other than J.G.W.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
