This is to certify the requirement for a sole source contract with VACCO Industries, 10350 Vacco St. So.

This requirement is in support the Wing 3/5 LCC shock isolator which has a annual PDM requirement.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The Air Force does not have sufficient technical data required to repair these assets. The Technical data is proprietary to VACCO Industries. Under FAR authority 6.302-1 there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The government would suffer unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements if this requirement is not sole sourced.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The technical data necessary to repair and test these assets is proprietary to VACCO Industries and is not available to organic repair.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

VACCO Industries owns the repair data and is the only known source of repair of these relief valves. It is requested for VACCO Industries, to update drawing package, create & validate technical repair procedures and repair one of each relief valve. Our PDM and field customers have a critical requirement to maintain operational capacity. Unlimited data rights will be obtained from this contract allowing government to conduct repairs organically in the future.
