SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION FOR SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS

From:

To: Code 02 Acquisition Branch

Subj: SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION

1. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIRED SUPPLIES/SERVICES, ESTIMATED VALUE, AND

DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS

Code 6102 requires 0.125” thick fluorosilicone strips and bonding of strips to 0.5”, thick strips from Stockwell Elastomerics already purchased to support installation of the Flight Deck Thermal Management System (FDTMS). The cost of these parts is quoted to be $33,294.

2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR SOLE SOURCE BASED ON

CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION

Stockwell Elastomerics is the only manufacturer that can not only make the 0.125” thick strips, but also bond them to the 0.5” strips already procured by the Government. Failure to procure these strips and adhere them to the existing 0.5” thick strips will result in the FDTMS system not having sufficient gasketing material to fill the void space in the system and prevent water intrusion.

Therefore, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

3. MARKET SURVEY

Market research performed and found that Stockwell is the only manufacturer of the 0.125” thick Fluorosilicone strips. Stockwell does not have resellers; therefore, the strips are only commercially available from Stockwell Elastomerics.
