This document is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) for a simplified acquisition by the 19th Contracting Squadron at Little Rock Air Force Base. The document justifies a sole-source procurement of Red Ribbon Week paraphernalia from NIMCO, Inc., which holds the copyright and trademark for the Red Ribbon Campaign. The miscellaneous items to be purchased include T-shirts, wrist bands, stickers, and masks with anti-drug messages, intended to support outreach, education, intervention, and prevention efforts related to drug demand reduction. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense has approved the use of Drug Demand Reduction Funds for this procurement, and NIMCO, Inc. is deemed the only vendor capable of providing these specific items due to their exclusive trademark and copyright rights.

The contract is dated for award on August 1, 2025, with the Contracting Officer Amanda Davenport (GS-14, Acquisition Flight Chief) determining that a single source is reasonably available in accordance with federal acquisition regulations. The procurement is not part of a bridge action plan, and no other sources are available for these specialized Red Ribbon Week campaign materials. The contracting activity is associated with the 19th Contracting Squadron located at 624 Thomas Ave, Little Rock AFB, AR 72099, and the procurement is specifically for the Red Ribbon Week Paraphernalia project.
