This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) Shop at the 6 CONS/PKA contracting activity. The procurement is for a Spacesaver Storage System to replace a hurricane-damaged system, including 20 shelves within an overall footprint of 23'11 ¼" wide x 8'4 ¼" tall. The system utilizes a turn-style handle for access and features a mix of shelf sizes: 14 shelves measuring 48" x 12", 2 shelves measuring 48" x 18", and 4 shelves measuring 42" x 12". The shelves are categorized into three types: static, storage, and mobile.

Patterson Pope is the sole authorized distributor of Spacesaver storage systems for the Southeastern United States, including Florida. The contract justifies single-source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), noting that no other company can provide a replacement or upgrade for the Spacesaver system. Market research confirmed that only Spacesaver meets critical technical and safety specifications while ensuring compatibility with existing workflows. The 6th Contracting Squadron's policy is to seek full and open competition when practical, and they will continue to survey the market for potential alternative sources. The contracting officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available, with the document signed and dated for 04-Sep-2025.
