N3904027Q5986 Limited Source Justification.pdf

This is a Limited Source Justification (SAP) document dated September 30, 2020, supporting a single-source acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The acquisition seeks Karon Coating Type-B and V applied to four sets of center blocks and pins per specified engineering drawings (DWG 7067173/XA, DWG 7067170/XA, and DWG 7068530/XA). Kamitics is identified as the proprietary and only responsible source for this Karon coating. The justification is based on two primary factors: (1) restrictive rights—Kamitics holds proprietary rights, limited rights data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the Karon coating that make it available from only one source; and (2) unusual and compelling urgency—the requirement was identified on October 22, 2026, with delivery required between November 30, 2026, and December 4, 2026. The compressed timeline and production lead time for the coated components necessitate single-source procurement to prevent work stoppage and mission-critical injury. The justification was certified as technically accurate by Jason Laflamme on October 22, 2026, and approved by Contracting Officer Nathan Westman on November 4, 2026.
