JA Single Source - Static Transfer Switch_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 27th Special Operations Contracting Squadron at Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico. The procurement involves purchasing one DC Gate Driver Board, one Pulse Gate Driver, three Heatsink w/SCR 1000A 480V, and one Customer Service Engineer session to repair a damaged PDI 480 Volt, 150 amp 3 phase transfer switch (model number STS-SBR-STD-2-480-150-60-1-WS-PM-2-BE).

The acquisition strategy is a single-source award to Eaton Corporation for a "one for one" swap of components to restore a critical static transfer switch for a Power Distribution, Inc. (PDI) system that failed in January 2025. After conducting a comprehensive market survey that contacted eleven companies, only Eaton Corporation provided a viable quotation. The urgency stems from the switch being critical to power transmission between A and B power buses, with its continued failure potentially resulting in an 8% loss of combat capability. The 27 SOCONS/PKA plans to conduct comprehensive market research to prevent future single-source awards for similar equipment and labor.
