JA TESTEK Final KO SIGNED II.pdf

Contracting Officer's Determination Memorandum for Sole Source (Including Brand Name) for less than SAT

In accordance with FAR 13.106-1 (b) (1 ), for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). The determination must explain why the item or service provider is the only one that will meet the Government's requirement. Statements such as "only know source" or "only source which can meet the required delivery date" are unacceptable to support a sole source purchase.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE:

ESTIMATED AMOUNT (over $2,500 for services and $10,000 for supplies, not to exceed SAT) $234,154.80

Maintenance services and parts to support the Testek hydraulic test console utilized by the HI MARS program.

CHECK THE TYPE OF PURCHASE. Provide the unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, including the reason(s) no other supplies or services can be used to meet the Government's needs. If you are stating the purchase is mandated by law, regulation, or policy, state the publication, date, and include a copy of the publication with the package. If the request is based on unusual or compelling urgency, describe the circumstances leading to the urgency, including when the requirement became known. (Urgency cannot be justified due to expiring funds or a lack of planning by the customer.)

Testek is the OEM of the hydraulic test console used to validate and verify HI MARS production assets. As such, Testek retains exclusive knowledge of the design and operation of the test console. LEAD technicians are able to troubleshoot, maintain, and repair the console to an extent, but manufacturer services and support are required in some situations.

Testek also remains the main supplier of repair parts for the test console. No other vendor exists to service the test console and provide engineering and parts support for this particular test console.

This is a D Brand Name Purchase [!] Sole Source Purchase

SIGNATURE AND TITLE OF CUSTOMER To the best of my knowledge at this point in time, the information stated above is both true and accurate.
