Hughey__Phillips__Justification.pdf

This is a sole source justification document for a Florida county procurement involving Hughey & Phillips as the OEM manufacturer. The document supports a contract opportunity for the supply of a proprietary ASSY, LIGHT ENGINE, 861, WHT/WHT replacement assembly for the county's existing L-861 airfield lighting system, formerly manufactured by Astronics DME. The justification establishes that Hughey & Phillips is the sole identified direct supplier of this specific replacement assembly, with no alternate OEM suppliers or authorized distributors identified in the market.

The procurement is justified on the basis that non-OEM components may create compatibility issues and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) compliance concerns for the airfield lighting system. The sole source determination supports the county's need to maintain operational continuity and regulatory compliance with the existing airfield lighting infrastructure by restricting competition to the single qualified OEM supplier capable of providing compatible replacement components.
