RFO 13 Single Source DF - Vital Valt Mx and Support - 03 Aug 2026_Redacted.pdf

This is a Determination and Findings (D&F) memorandum for a single-source acquisition under RFO Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures).

The Department of the Air Force, through contracting activity SBD 3, 61 CONF (Purchase Request Number: F2T6AA6131A001), is authorizing a single-source solicitation from Vital Valt (MTM Business Systems) for system maintenance and support services of existing equipment and software. The total estimated contract value is below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and will be awarded as a base plus four option years contract. The acquisition is justified under RFO 13.101(b) based on exclusive licensing and distribution rights. Vital Valt is the sole authorized distributor in the continental United States for the required products and services, and Tracker IoT LLC (the software original equipment manufacturer) has confirmed in writing that Vital Valt is the only source capable of sustaining and supporting their software system for all government sales. Market research conducted from May 14, 2026 through July 29, 2026 confirmed that no other sources are available to meet the government's maintenance and support needs for the existing equipment and software previously procured under contract FA2816-23-F-0059. The contracting officer, Kenneth T. Sparks, TSgt, USAF, determined that the circumstances make only one source reasonably available to satisfy the government's needs, justifying the single-source acquisition in the best interest of the government.
