SSJ MTS Service_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a federal contract opportunity with the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT/ENY) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

AFIT/ENY requires an Assured Maintenance Plan and Pay-as-You-Go (PayGo) technical support services for Government-owned MTS test and measurement equipment located in the Engineering Laboratory. The required services encompass comprehensive preventative and remedial maintenance, emergency repair services, genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts, calibration, technical reachback support, and potential equipment relocation services. A periodic maintenance schedule will be established prior to contract start, with all maintenance, calibration, and repair tasks performed in strict accordance with MTS Systems Corporation procedures, diagnostic protocols, and technical specifications. The contractor is MTS Systems Corporation, selected through single-source procedures under RFO 6.103-1. The justification notes that only MTS Systems is capable of meeting the proprietary software and hardware requirements without introducing unacceptable integration, operational, and sustainment risks. The Government conducted comprehensive market research including General Services Administration (GSA) schedules review, historical contract analysis, subject matter expert consultation, and broad Internet searches. A Sources Sought notice was published on SAM.gov on August 12, 2026, with a response deadline of August 27, 2026; no capability statements were received from other vendors, confirming MTS Systems as the only responsible source. The document indicates the contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), and the Government commits to monitoring the marketplace and defining future requirements by functional characteristics rather than brand-name designs to encourage future competition.
