About this file
This sole source justification document outlines the procurement of seven KC46 Air Data Test Sets from a specific brand for the 76th Aircraft Maintenance Group at Tinker Air Force Base. The justification provides that the test sets are required to support maintenance of the Boeing KC-46 aircraft and must be procured from the original manufacturer to ensure standardization, compatibility with existing equipment, and compliance with aircraft maintenance manuals. The contracting office will conduct price analysis and ensure fair and reasonable pricing. Market research found no other sources that can provide these brand name test sets. The solicitation will be publicly posted for at least 20 days to allow interested sources to respond, though only the named brand is acceptable due to technical requirements.
