JA-MQ-4C Aircraft Weighing Overrunn Set__Final_Redacted.pdf

This is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for a sole source acquisition between $10,000 and $250,000 for the MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Air Systems Program.

The document justifies the sole source procurement of an Aircraft Weighing Overrun Set (P/N: 144007) from Intercomp Co. (CAGE: 7W667) located in Medina, MN. The equipment is required to weigh the Triton Unmanned Aircraft during maintenance and provide a surface for aircraft overrun protection. Intercomp is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole source provider, holding proprietary design rights and technical documentation until 2026. A synopsis was published on SAM.gov on November 18, 2024, with zero responses received by the November 4, 2024 closing date. The procurement is classified as a critical application item (CAI), with potential safety and mission impacts if non-OEM equipment is used. The Navy determined that pursuing alternate sources would result in cost duplication and schedule delays.
