Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: AFTC/PZI (Arnold)

Project/Program Name: 00014826 - MDA/GME 10V Test 17-02

Purchase Request/Identification Number: F1EEDS7335A001

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Four computer clock driver cards, two computer bias cards, two 16-bit A/D cards, one low noise DC power supply, one rack mount power supply, one 113 oz-in holding torque stepper motor, one 36 oz-in holding torque stepper motor, and one 158 oz-in holding torque stepper motor.

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

There are limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or proprietary processes involved. ATK is the original designer and manufacturer of the instruments installed in the 7V and 10V Chambers. ATK is the sole owner and maintainer of the original instrument drawings for the proprietary assembly. The 7V and 10V Chambers are designed for sole use with SE-IR Corporation infrared focal plane array components.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research did not identify any other company(s) that can provide products that would be easily integrated into the existing system and meet the operational environment requirements. Parts must operate in a 20 Kelvin, 1E-07 Torr environment.

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

Due to the specialized and proprietary nature of this system, it is unlikely that a sole-source can be precluded for future repairs and/or modifications. However, technical personnel will continue to keep abreast of market conditions to ensure that no other vendors can provide these products. In the event other sources are located, competitive bids will be solicited. If in the future the system is replaced, competitive bidding processes would be employed.

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.
