This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the procurement of 40 Sonmez 360 Discover M Tent Kits (or Equal) for the 306th Rescue Squadron (306 RQS). The document details the requirement for inflatable 4-season tents that can be set up in 4 minutes, featuring 100% waterproof fabric, PVC inflatable columns, anti-bacterial and fireproof flooring, and 50mph wind resistance. Each kit includes the tent (Gray SMZ16), floormat, awning poles, and organizer.

The justification explains that the Sonmez tent system is the only commercially available option meeting all requirements, which include specific dimensions (106" L x 118" W x 88" H), side-mounted wood burning stove capability, and specialized window configurations. The government conducted market research and posted a solicitation in FY24 that yielded two companies claiming ability to manufacture similar tents and three companies capable of providing Sonmez tent kits. This procurement is for the Air Combat Command's Bivouac System for elongated, bare base operations worldwide. The document is dated April 2021, with a Contracting Officer's determination date of 19-Nov-2024, citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for single source justification.
