MTS Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document for a Material Test System (MTS) Software Upgrade and Computers procurement for the 582nd Missile Maintenance Squadron at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The document details a sole source acquisition from MTS Systems Corporation for software support plans (MTS TestSuite™ TW Elite - SH and Software Support Plan 793) and two computers with Windows 11, 64-bit, 32GB RAM, and 2x512GB hard drives. The total estimated contract cost is redacted, with a planned purchase of one software support plan and two computer systems.

The justification emphasizes the specialized nature of the MTS system PC, which is an integral part of a real-time test control system extensively configured and tested inside the MTS factory. The document notes that the current software is obsolete, and no longer supported, necessitating an upgrade. The contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available, with the Air Force committed to continuing to search the commercial market for future alternatives. The procurement is associated with Solicitation Number FA822725Q3075, with a proposal due date of 12 August 2025 at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.
