SAF/AQCP Template | 1 May 2014 Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 673 CONS/LGCC Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F1W1S26075A001

Project/Program Name: F-22 Oxygen Mask Light System Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

JBER Aircrew Flight Equipment requires purchase of 100 each GENTEX oxygen mask cockpit light systems and accessories.

These light systems will be installed on existing GENTEX manufactured/tech order directed pilot oxygen masks. These are the standard F-22 cockpit light sources among other F-22 units across the USAF.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

GENTEX Corporation Respiratory Systems is the exclusive U.S. manufacturer and distributors of the Oxygen Mask System currently installed on the F-22s. Because of this, GENTEX is the only manufacturer that can supply the Oxygen Mask Light, part number G030-1500-01, and its associated spare parts and accessories. GENTEX is the only U.S. source for the Oxygen Mask Light.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Internet searches were conducted in an effort to find oxygen mask lights that may be compatible with the GENTEX oxygen mask system. However, no compatible lights were found. GENTEX is the only company that makes a compatible light system.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

Aircrew Flight Equipment will perform market research as well as check whether tech data and other regulations allow for use of sources other than GENTEX Corp. prior to pursing purchase of any future requirements of this nature. If it is found that another manufacturer makes a light system compatible with current equipment installed on the F-22 a competitive solicitation will be sent to all capable companies.

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.
