This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract action. The contracting activity is 35 CONS/PKB (U.S. Air Force), and the project involves procuring CES Continuous Friction Meter Equipment for use at Misawa AB, Japan. The document confirms this is not a Bridge Action and was signed by TOMOKO ASAI, Contracting Officer, on February 17, 2026.

The supplies and services required include one RT3 continuous friction meter equipment (CFME) unit with a bumper, durometer tester, pavement and ambient temperature sensor, and RT3 web-based data reporting portal (winter only). Additional items include RT3 flight accessories (Modified Havis Laptop Stand, Bluetooth device, and Samsung 10+ Tablet with cover and screen protector) and 20 instances of installation and training services for operations and maintenance. Travel and related costs are also included. The justification for single-source solicitation specifies Halliday Technologies as the sole FAA-approved CFME manufacturer per FAA Advisory Circular 150/5320-12 and AFMAN 13-204v2. The acquisition is driven by the need for a second RT3 unit at Misawa AB for redundancy and compatibility with existing equipment, with capability to share software and data reporting access with other squadrons. Market research indicated that certain accessories are available separately but cannot be procured as a complete package from a single vendor, and some items such as the RT3 web-based portal are unique to the RT3 system.
