J A M-LIMIT Redacted.pdf

This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document authorizing a sole-source award for a modernized Main Landing Gear Integrated Maintenance & Integrity Tester (M-LIMIT) system.

The Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia is awarding a new firm-fixed-price Definitive "C" Contract to Mid-America Aerotech (MAA) on a sole-source basis for acquisition of one modernized M-LIMIT unit with associated components, technical data, manufacturing rights, manuals, and incidental services in support of B-2 weapon system sustainment. The total estimated acquisition value is redacted. Fiscal Year 2026 appropriated funds will support this one-time procurement. Major deliverables include one Main Landing Gear Tester (P/N E72439-001), one Hydraulic Cabinet Assembly (P/N 184000-715-100), one Complete Tool Kit for MLG Door Actuators, on-site assembly and installation services at Robins Air Force Base, operator training, and associated technical manuals and training materials. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, establishing that only MAA possesses the required qualifications and proprietary intellectual property necessary for this effort. MAA acquired all IP and manufacturing data rights from original equipment manufacturer Moog Inc. in June 2023, making MAA the sole source capable of producing the M-LIMIT system. The document establishes that future competitive opportunities for similar systems may be feasible once proprietary data rights are reassessed, though immediate actions to overcome competitive barriers are not planned for this procurement.
