Single Source Justification for Paint Booth Equipment Upgrade and Service

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for an urgent, non-competitive procurement by the Air Force Space Command (AFSC/PZIMA) at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The requirement is to upgrade and service paint booth equipment (serial numbers U120518 and U120518B) in Building 180 for the 402d Maintenance Group (MXSG). The contractor must provide all travel, tools, equipment, personnel, and labor for on-site installation of DX AMU parts, air flow sensor relocation, equipment testing, and control system adjustments. Work must be completed within 30 days of contract award. The Government has already purchased parts from Global Finishing Solutions LLC (OEM) on a Government Charge Card (GCP card PO36865400-1), and without this urgent upgrade, operations face compromised paint quality, increased maintenance costs, safety hazards, and work stoppages currently in effect.

Global Finishing Solutions LLC, located in Osseo, Wisconsin (CAGE Code 3GX14, Large Business classification), is identified as the sole source vendor and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the paint booths. The justification for single-source procurement cites the OEM's proprietary system design, refusal to sell data rights, and the lack of any other qualified vendor capable of performing the service without significant research and operational disruption. Market research across small business databases (DSBS, SAM.Gov) and mandatory sources identified no alternative sources meeting the requirement. The document references comparable prior efforts (contracts FA8571-21-P-0126 and FA8571-23-P-0123) used for cost estimation. The contracting officer determined on April 8, 2026, that circumstances justified Other Than Full and Open Competition under FAR 12.102(a), with no plan to overcome barriers to competition as this is a one-time service to the OEM.
