Asphalt Zipper Sole Source Letter_Redactedv1_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification memo documenting the determination that only one source (Asphalt Zipper Inc.) is reasonably available for maintenance parts for the Asphalt Zipper (480Xi-260H) under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Threshold procedures.

The justification is based on exclusive licensing agreements, as Asphalt Zipper Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and only authorized source for these specific parts. The requirement was identified on November 10, 2024, with parts needed by February 15, 2025, to support a project starting in March. The urgency is justified by the need to implement the parts into the load plan and inventory before the first wave of personnel deployment. The US Marine Corps awarded contract M67400-25-P-0001 to Asphalt Zipper Inc. for $89,065.67 on December 19, 2025, for replacement parts and door-to-door shipping of the 480Xi-260H Reclaimer/Stabilizer.
