JandA 81964-Signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Department of the Air Force Justification and Approval (J&A) document for Other Than Full and Open Competition, dated July 22, 2026, for a sole source acquisition valued under $10 million.

The Air Force Material Command (AFMC), through contracting activity AFSC/PZIMB, is acquiring 25 ATTI Insert Converter Chassis Adapters (3 VXL/6PXIE Slot with controller, Part #PZIE03) from Advanced Testing Technologies, Inc. (ATTI) located in Hauppauge, New York (Case Code 0DRX9). The equipment will be delivered to Electronics Maintenance Group (EMXG) at Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC), Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The justification cites statutory authority under RFO 12.201-1 (Simplified Procedures, 41 U.S.C. 1901) and is being approved as a sole source acquisition because these components are strictly proprietary to ATTI and the OEM for the Versatile Depot Automatic Test Station (VDATS) VXI to PXIE Converter Chassis. The document notes that awarding to any alternative source would require an estimated $220,000 and 1,600 man-hours in research and development, plus an estimated six months to replicate the exact form, fit, and function. The justification emphasizes that ATTI maintains strict proprietary data rights and is the only source capable of ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical VDATS operations. Market research was conducted from June 1-22, 2026, which identified only ATTI as capable of providing this item. A previous contract for this equipment was satisfied under sole source contract FA857126P0004, awarded to ATTI on October 27, 2025, using NAICS code 334515.
