About this file
This memorandum documents the posting of an acquisition synopsis and sole source solicitation for the new manufacture of a relay electrical component/panel for the B-2 aircraft. The Air Force Sustainment Center plans to award a firm-fixed price, fixed quantity contract for the manufacture and delivery of three relay electrical component/panels over a period of 200 days each. Interested parties have 15 days from the date of posting to respond. The requirement is a sole source to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation as the approved and qualified source, as the government does not own the technical data rights needed for additional vendors to manufacture the part.

MEMORANDUM TO FILE
Subject: Posting of Acquisition Synopsis and Sole Source Solicitation – PR FD2030-22-01270
1. It was brought to my attention that the subject PR did not have the synopsis or solicitation posted to the System for Acquisition Management (SAM). Due to changeover in personnel, it appears that this requirement was solicited to the sole-source vendor, but neither the synopsis nor the solicitation were ever posted in SAM. To correct the record, I have directed that the buyer post a combined synopsis and solicitation for15 days. The sole-source vendor has already provided a proposal and there is no opportunity to increase competition; therefore, nothing additional would be gained by posting this requirement for longer than 15 days. The solicitation copy posted to SAM with the synopsis is the one that was created in 2022 when the requirement first arrived in PZABC. This requirement was initially solicited using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) and this office was not aware of the substantial increase in price until we received the solicitation. That is why this solicitation is a “Q” type solicitation as we expected the proposed price to be below $250,000. What was posted was what was provided to the sole-source vendor.
2. The sole-source vendor owns all the intellectual property and data necessary to manufacture this item. Based on market research, no other vendor possesses the ability to meet this requirement. As such, the posting of this synopsis for 15 days will meet the spirit and intent of FAR Part 5.
3. I certify that I am the Section Supervisor for the FA8119 portfolio of contracts. If you have questions regarding the posting of this synopsis, please contact me at 405-734-4610.
