The document justifies the procurement of 40 Gentex mask light amplified microphone assemblies (part number 1001682-00) at an estimated price of $51,000.00. The requirement is for the Aircrew Flight Equipment Superintendent at Benita Q Creekmore, identified as the Point of Contact. The justification cites authority under 10 USC 3204(a)(1) or 41 USC 3304(a)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.302-1, establishing that only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The specific item is identified in the ALIS system (JTD F35-UGP-A0122000711-090A-A) as the only product that provides inspection and parts guidance for pilot flight equipment. The document indicates this item has not been previously procured. No special posting requirements, competitive actions, or market research efforts were undertaken, as the nature of the requirement supports single-source justification. The contracting officer, Jeremy Hendrick, certified that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable. The document was prepared and certified by Benita Q Creekmore on February 17, 2026.
