This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form used to justify restricting competition for a contract award valued under $10 million.

The document justifies a sole-source contract award to TIME MANUFACTURING COMPANY for the purchase and installation of left and right CAT-Tracks and related parts in support of the 97th Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS). The contracting activity is the 97th Contracting Office/Purchasing and Contracting (CONF/PKA) at the Department of the Air Force. The proprietary CAT-Tracks are required to maintain the base aircraft fleet, and TIME MANUFACTURING COMPANY is identified as the only responsible source capable of fulfilling this requirement based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The justification cites the items' proprietary nature, the company's successful performance on previous installation work, and the fact that the equipment can only be ordered through the authorized dealer. Per the document, the contract will be posted on SAM.gov for no less than 15 days. The Contracting Officer, Scott Swain (Civ USAF), certified the accuracy of this justification, which requires approval signatures from Legal Review, Chief of the Contracting Office, Portfolio Acquisition Executive/Program Executive Officer, Head of the Contracting Activity, and additional designated personnel.
