Redacted Single Source C-17 Mobility Maintenannce Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the procurement of six (6) C-17 Mobility Maintenance Tool Kits by the 628th Contracting Squadron at Joint Base Charleston. The procurement is specifically for specialized tools designed and calibrated for the C-17 Globemaster III aircraft, with Daniels Manufacturing Corporation identified as the sole authorized manufacturer. The total estimated contract cost was redacted, and the procurement is not considered a Bridge Action.

Market research was conducted to verify no alternative vendors could provide these specialized tool kits, with industry databases and known tool manufacturers queried. The justification notes that while some individual tools might be available from other sources, a complete and compliant kit is only possible through Daniels Manufacturing Corporation. Joint Base Charleston intends to remove barriers to competition in future acquisitions by verifying any new authorized manufacturers and reviewing potential tool kit sources. The contract is planned to be awarded on 27-Mar-2025, with responses to the notice of intent to be received by 1:00 PM on 14 April 2025.
