MFR Sole Source Letter_2 SLS Okaya Trial.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification memorandum from the United States Space Force, Space Launch Delta 30, for a procurement action to acquire a three-month Okaya Feasibility Study Trial from SmarTec Inc.

The requirement derives from and extends efforts performed under SmarTec's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II (FA864921P0971) and Phase II/D2P2 (FA864924P0008) awards. The Government seeks to procure the Okaya platform and related feasibility study services on a firm-fixed-price basis for a commercial, brand-name product. SmarTec Inc. is identified as the sole source capable of fulfilling this requirement due to its proprietary design authority for the Okaya Trial platform and its exclusive possession of the technology, data rights, and validated platform. The Okaya platform and SBIR-developed methodology are protected by SBIR STTR noncommercial data rights (DFARS 252.227-7018). The justification cites RFO Part 6.103-1 and FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) as the regulatory basis for restricting consideration to a single source, emphasizing that only SmarTec Inc. possesses the unique qualifications to provide services meeting the Government's needs without causing unacceptable mission delays or incurring high costs associated with reverse engineering. Contracting Officer Christopher Hummel, GS-12, USAF, certified that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable and that the sole source justification is accurate and complete.
