JA Sole Source - OTS Dry Undersuits FA489725P0016.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document from the 366th Contracting Squadron for the procurement of 120 OTS Dry Suits that must be custom tailored to comply with Air Force TO 14P3-5-111C. The purchase request number is F3F1G15007A001.

The justification explains that Aerostat Inc.'s OTS-600 style 601GBR00SB is the only authorized source per Air Force specifications and requirements. Alternative suits are being phased out due to higher maintenance costs and ineffectiveness in meeting specific flying mission requirements. The document confirms there is only one authorized source of supply per Air Force regulations, and the Air Force has identified this manufacturer in their Technical Order as the only approved vendor. The Contracting Officer determined this sole source procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
