NSN 6150-01-555-8884 Cable Assembly for the Store System Tester (SST). The SST is a replacement tester program, replacing the legacy testers (-500 and -501). This is an urgent and compelling request to fill the MICAPs for Req. #s FB52848170B000, FB656382900703, FB656383030134 and also FB529483250041 and FB5284824200008 which are high priority and expected to go MICAP.

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

Authority: FAR 6.302-2 Unusual and Compelling Urgency. We currently have MICAPS for this cable assembly in part due to errors in the data that was provided to the government and then to suppliers. We have been working through the errors, but this has delayed obtaining parts for the warfighter. Due to the additional lead time involved with meeting the first article requirements of this part, we need to source enough parts to cover our MICAP requirements to a supplier that is not required to provide a first article part. ICORE, as the OEM for this cable assembly is not required to provide a first article part.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The Air Force is only aware of one supplier that can supply the parts with the first article waiver.

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

Our efforts to improve the quality of the data we have for this part should preclude the need for Sole Source contracts.
