This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a non-competitive procurement under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1). The United States Air Force, through AFMC AFSC OL-H/PZAAA at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, seeks to award a non-commercial repair services contract to Linmarr Associates, Inc. (CAGE Code 1GX03) located at 8 Hammond Suite 108, Irvine, CA 92618 for the repair of six Motor Controllers (NSN 6110016608072FD) used in the AN/TSQ-T10 Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) Radar Weapon System. The estimated contract value is below $750,000 with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) pricing anticipated. The estimated award date is 01 April 2026, with performance and delivery expected through 30 December 2026. The contracting officer is John (Kenny) Prather (DSN 586-3463).

The justification for sole-source award centers on the unique qualifications and data restrictions imposed by the original equipment manufacturer, Rotating Precision Mechanisms (RPM). RPM has downsized following COVID-19 impacts and is no longer capable of handling government contracts directly; instead, they have partnered exclusively with Linmarr Associates for contracting and sales. RPM's Distribution Statement E classification prohibits sharing technical data to expand the list of approved repair sources. Market research, including a Sources Sought Synopsis posted on SAM.gov (FA8250-25-R-8072) from 07 October 2025 to 22 October 2025 and searches of government databases (Avcom, Jedmics, Haystack, PRPS, D200, D035), yielded no alternative qualified sources. The Air Force expended continuous effort to procure data rights to expand potential sources but was unsuccessful. The contracting office determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on thorough price analysis using available information and approved pricing techniques. Qualification requirements for alternative sources are available through solicitation or upon request, with System Engineer assistance provided to meet specified standards.
