This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a maintenance contract supporting the 580th Software Engineering Squadron (SWES).

The procurement is for Stratasys Emerald Care maintenance for Stratasys J850 and J450 3D printers, which are critical assets supporting the squadron's rapid prototyping, production, and testing mission. The contracting activity is AFMC/AFSC OL_H/PZIMB, with Purchase Request/Local ID Number 25981. The contract structure includes a base year effective 30 days after receipt of order (ARO) through 12 months, followed by four one-year option periods. The base year covers maintenance for two printer models (Emerald Care Stratasys J750/J850, PN: SC-PJ00145, Serial G1850103, and Emerald Care 450, PN: SC-FDM00026, Serial K00716), with identical line items and quantities repeated for each option year. Delivery is 30 days ARO. All pricing is redacted in the document.

The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) to support single-source procurement, establishing that only Stratasys, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), can provide the required maintenance plan, certified technicians, genuine OEM parts (including hoses, belts, and print heads), and proprietary diagnostic software. The document notes that searches of NASA SEWP and GSA 2GIT databases found no alternative vendors. The contracting officer determined that only a single source is reasonably available and recommends pursuing this procurement through SAM.gov. The document indicates future single-source justifications may be required but commits to monitoring the market for compatible alternatives.
