This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification for Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items for the United States Air Force. The procurement is for two (2) Columbus Jack/Regent Long Towbars (Part Number 865D1100) specifically engineered for unique aircraft requirements.

Market research was performed through a Request for Information (RFI) submitted to 172 vendors, with only one (1) Response of Market (ROM) received from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The estimated contract value is redacted, and the justification cites proprietary design and ownership of drawings as the basis for sole source procurement. The OEM (Columbus Jack/Regent) has confirmed they are the sole manufacturer and are willing to resell through authorized distributors like Dutch Valley.
