Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: JSF Edwards AFB, CA

Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F1S0AF5349B001

Project/Program Name: Instrumentation Laboratory General Support

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The Triple Series USB/Ethernet hosted FireSpy 3810 provides three FireSpy bus analyzers in one compact package. Designed to meet the requirements of AS5643 based tri-redundant bus architectures, the 3810 allow the single FireSpy to be connected to three separate IEEE-1394 buses while connecting to three synchronized analysis engines. Based on our Gen2 hardware platform, the 3810 contains 1GB internal memory and a powerful processor to provide the resources needed to service all three buses.

The 3810 brings out six active transformer coupled ports, two from each bus analyzer, through a single high density connector (VHDCI) to six IEEE-1394 Beta 9-pin cables. Additionally it has three, one from each bus analyzer, IEEE-1394 Bilingual 9-pin connectors. The bilingual ports support S100, S200 and S400 legacy connections and S400 and S800 Beta connections.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

The triple FireSpy bus analyzer is used in the Instrumentation laboratory to interface with the data acquisition system that is designed to run with the .

. This analyzer can be used to monitor 1394 bus traffic and to simulate 1394 bus traffic when testing the instrumentation system off-board the aircraft. It is a powerful and versatile tool, but to properly and efficiently test the instrumentation system requires multiple FireSpy bus analyzers as there are three, triple bus systems designed into the aircraft.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research did not identify any other companies as potential suppliers, however a Notice of Contract Action will be posted via FedBizOpps. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the government.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

In order to preclude future single source awards, a market survey to identify other possible vendors that meet all these criteria will be

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) conducted.

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.
