This Justification and Approval (J&A) document is for a non-competitive contract award to Simmonds Precision Products Inc. for the Overhaul of E-3 Liquid Quantity Indicators used by the United States Air Force. The contract is a follow-on to a previous contract (FA8117-20-D-0020) expiring on 30 June 2025, with a planned award date of July 2025. The acquisition is for highly specialized overhauling of liquid quantity indicators for E-3 platforms, with Simmonds Precision Products identified as the only known source capable of providing the required engineering and overhauling services.

The contract includes a basic period from July 2025 to June 2026 and two option years, with estimated dollar values based on historical contract data and a 5% inflation rate. The total estimated contract value is not fully disclosed due to redacted sections. The 422 Supply Chain Management Squadron determined that awarding to any other source would cause unacceptable delays in fulfilling mission requirements, potentially disrupting the Air Force's ability to perform critical mission operations for the E-3 weapon system. Market research conducted through a Sources Sought Synopsis and multi-functional team review did not identify alternative sources capable of meeting the specific technical requirements.
