Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: AFLCMC/EBHKA

Project/Program Name: X-5000 NeXT Integrated Telemetry Analysis System (ITAS) Extended Product Support

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F2DCDF3346A001

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $93,027.84

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The AFLCMC/EBHKA Weapons Branch, Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Joint Program Office (JPO), requests one year extended product support for the X-5000 NeXT Integrated Telemetry Analysis System (ITAS) from Parraid, LLC, 44150 Smartronix Way Suite 100, Hollywood, MD 20636. The requirement also includes four (4) 12-month option years of extended product support.

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

Parraid, a subsidiary of Smartronix, is the manufacturer of the previously procured ITAS equipment and owns the technical data and is the only known source that can provide the extended product support, while currently providing standard-level support.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

While other Integrated Telemetry Analysis Systems (ITAS) are available in the commercial market, only Parraid can provide support for its previously procured system requiring future maintenance support. A published synopsis of proposed contract actions is not required under FAR 5.202 (a)(13). The market research report filed in Tab 3 outlines the techniques used to identify potential sources and promote competition.

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

The JDAM JPO anticipates additional follow-on contracts to be awarded for ITAS support over the life cycle of the JDAM weapon system. The JDAM JPO will perform market research as required by the FAR to support future acquisitions. Based on the results of that research, the JDAM JPO will determine whether a business case exists for pursuing competition.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
