MEMORANDUM FOR AFSC/ PZIMC

FROM: OC-ALC/OBCA

SUBJECT: Sole Source Justification for:

Serv C24-006 Honeywell Technical Services Contract

1. 76 CMXG requires contractor support for the Technical Engineering Servicing of the

Honeywell Test Equipment Systems supporting B-1, B-52, E-3, F-15, F-16, and KC-135 aircrafts. This is due to all accessible peripheral devices’ need to be functionally tested in accordance with the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) recommended procedures.

2. The existing infrastructure was manufactured by Honeywell International and retains all software data rights. A contractor that performs services and analysis on the items referenced in Appendix A must have training, access to all software license, and accessibility of technical data issued by the manufacturer. During the market research phase of this requirement, it was determined that Honeywell is the only known company that is capable of providing technical services for this equipment and has access to all necessary data and tooling to satisfy this requirement.

Market research was performed reviewing System for Award Management (SAM) databases using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code (541330) researching companies that could provide Technical Engineering Services. The vendor search revealed that the OEM was the only source that confirmed they could service 76 CMXG’s equipment. The attached “Sole Source OEM Survey” was emailed to the Honeywell International Program Manager addressing the availability if data rights, authorized dealers, and technicians; as well as the possibility of selling these data rights to the government or industry. Those responses are recorded on page three of this memorandum.

Two additional companies were contacted to determine if they had the capabilities to support this requirement. Both entities stated that they do have access to the necessary data to provide support. Their responses are attached to this memorandum following Honeywell International’s response.

The Government will continue to monitor the market and conduct market research to find vendors that are equivalent to and are compatible with existing equipment. The vendors referenced on the next page are vendors that provide similar services and may at some point be able to enter the market with supportability capabilities to the existing system.

You don't often get email from paul.kinsey@united-dynamics.com. Learn why this is important

Ms Williams

United Dynamics does not have access to Honeywell data and is not an authorized dealer or service provider for Honeywell currently. That would be something we would definitely be interested in if you can help with that

We do have companies that we work with that has this capability as well

Also if the USG is at a standstill on parts/equipment and cannot find sources to help United Dynamics is reverse Enginerring lots of different items currently for the US Air Force and other Aerospace Primes

If there is something we can help you with please let us know. If you have aby questions please do not hesistate to ask

Respectfully

Good evening Mr. Bergsten, I am performing Market Research to determine if your company, United Dynamics, Inc. has the capabilities and data access to provide services to Honeywell Equipment.

It is my understanding that United Dynamics, Inc. supports and advances the aerospace industry as well as the war fighters of the armed forces. UDI specializes in premium engineering, technology insertion, design and re-engineering services. Also, UDI has served the United States Department of Defense and multiple commercial organizations in the engineering, manufacturing, repair and overhaul of aerospace mechanical components.

Has UDI been able to become an authorized dealer or service provider for Honeywell Equipment?

Ms. Williams, I’m sorry for the delay.

Applied Ground Support Technical Services is NOT a authorized dealer or service provider for Honeywell Equipment.

While we have provided expert technical assistance for Honeywell test equipment at Tinker AFB under our current contract and previous contracts, we have not been directly certified by Honeywell.
