Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 99th Contracting Squadron Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F3GEBD8010AW01

Project/Program Name: TVOSS Air Hoses Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The 88 Test and Evaluation Squadron (TES) is requesting a total of 21 various Special Projects Operations Inc. hoses used for a Twin Volume Oxygen Storage System (TVOSS) Portable O2 Station.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

Special Projects Operations Inc. is the only company that can provide 88 TES with the hoses that they need to have an operational O2 filling station for the TVOSS. These products are manufactured by Special Projects Operations and are the only compatible parts with the current inventory of hoses owned by the 88 TES. To ensure continuity and safe operations of O2 filling, the unit requires the same type of hose as what is installed.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

An Internet, and GSA search provided no results in finding compatible hoses necessary to fulfill the requirement for particular TVOSS Portable O2 filling stations.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

Market Research will be conducted in the future to verify if there are any other companies available to provide these hoses. Market research will be conducted to analyze the cost of replacing existing hoses or if new hoses are required, research will be completed to find multiple companies capable of meeting this requirement.

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.
