This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the Air Force's HMIT Test Equipment Maintenance requirement. The contract is with Thales Defense & Security, Inc. (TDSI) for maintenance and repair of two 523 EMXS Helmet Mounted Integrated Targeting System (HMIT) Test Stands, with a purchase request number ALEXSYS 14541. TDSI is the sole source due to being the design authority and exclusive manufacturer of the Scorpion® System Test Rack, with proprietary software and design that cannot be replicated by other vendors.

The contract specifies that TDSI will provide all management, tools, parts, supplies, equipment, and labor necessary to maintain two HMIT Test Stands. The company owns all data rights and will not release proprietary information to third parties. The contracting activity is AFSC OLH/PZIMC, and the document indicates that future purchases will attempt to introduce competition, but currently, TDSI is the only vendor capable of providing this critical service. The Contracting Officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available, with the contract action dated for 16-Oct-2025.
