Department of the Army Sole Source Justification for Purchases under the SAT

(Using FAR Part 13)

1. Contracting Activity: Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is the contracting activity responsible for this action.

2. Description of the Supply or Service Purchased: ACC-DTA proposes to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Modification to the existing FFP Requirements Modular Fuel System Tank Rack Module (MFS-TRM) contract W56HZV-19-D-0048 with Isometrics for updates to the MFS-TRM M107A1 Technical Manuals (TMs) and training materials.

An Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) was previously incorporated into the TRM M107A1 to add ADR (a United Nations agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) components/parts to the system. The main items the ECP added to the system were check valves, ball valves, grounding hardware, fire screen, a different fuel nozzle, and nameplates. The current contract scope already includes the hardware and logistics portion of the ADR ECP. However, in addition to ADR ECP updates to the TMs and training materials, Product Manager (PdM) PAWS also requires additional updates to be made to the following TMs and training materials:

• TM 10-4930-371-23&P Field Maintenance Manual Including Repair Parts and Special Tools List (RPSTL) for Modular Fuel System Tank Rack Module (MFS TRM).

• TM 10-4930-371-10 Operator Manual for Modular Fuel System Tank Rack Module (MFS

TRM)TRM

• M107A1 Operator Lesson Guide

• M107A1 Operator Trainee Guide

• M107A1 Media Package

• M107A1 MAINT Lesson Guide

• M107A1 MAINT Trainee Guide

The anticipated period of performance is twelve months. This action has an estimated price of $175k.

Fiscal Year (FY) 22 Other Procurement Army (OPA) will be used for this acquisition.

3. Authority Cited: FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), “Soliciting from a Single Source.”

4. Reason for Authority Cited: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) allows solicitation from only one source, for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, if the Contracting Officer determines that circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the M107A1, Isometrics already possesses the technical data and expert knowledge of the TRM M107A1 required to provide the necessary updates to the technical manuals and training materials.

In addition, Isometrics will already be incorporating the ADR logistics revisions to the TMs and training materials as part of an ECP under the current existing contract; therefore, the Government should realize some cost-savings since it is already paying for updates to specific pages and companies charge by the page. Additionally, having Isometrics perform the additional updates to the TMs and training materials at the same time as the ADR ECP revisions will save time as the tasks will be combined into a single effort.
