Contracting Activity: AFSC/PZIMA Purchase Request/ Not Yet Assigned Identification Number:

Project/Program Name: PMC Cable Assemblies Estimated Contract Cost $21,000.00 (including Options):

564th AMXS requests the purchase of three (3) TEE61-995 PMC Cable Assemblies and three (3) TEE61-990 Engine Sensor Cable Assemblies for the CFM56-2B1 PMC Testers. RMS Dynamic Test Systems is the manufacturer of the Power Management Control (PMC) Testers CFM-56-2B1 we currently have in service. The PMC Tester is used to troubleshoot the CFM-56 on the KC-135 Aircraft. This tester gives the mechanic a quick and accurate status of the engine condition. The new test cables are needed to replace recently condemned units and for future condemned units.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

Based on the Market Research conducted there is only one cable type that is compatible with the PMC Testers. RMS Dynamic Test Systems is the only manufacturer and sole distributor of the TEE61-995 and TEE61-990 Cable Assemblies. Therefore it is requested that a logical award be be made to RMS Dynamic Test Systems.

Small Business

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition Market research was performed reviewing Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) and System for Award Management (SAM) databases using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334515 looking for companies that could provide these cable assemblies. In review there is only one source that can provide the commodity for this acquisition.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

The Government will continue to research the market for another acceptable vendor. We will also address the situation to engineering to see if they can provide another means to acquire these cable assemblies in the future. As of now RMS Dynamic Test Systems is the only manufacturer, sole distributor and maintains all the data rights for this equipment.
