Single Source Justification and Approval Redacted_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 97th Contracting Flight at Ebbing Air National Guard Base. The procurement is for Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Mats, specifically five items: a 7'x12' HMWPE Trackout Control Mat, 10-Round Head Stakes, 5450 6" FODS Screws, FODS Cleaning Shovel, and a Mat Moving Tool. These items will be directly procured from Spartan Composites, LLC through a firm-fixed price contract.

The justification highlights the critical need for FOD prevention and protection to mitigate potential damage to United States and NATO partners' assets during training operations. Spartan Composites was selected due to their unique capabilities in manufacturing high-molecular-weight polyethylene trackout control mats with a patented design featuring staggered pyramids that effectively clear foreign object debris from vehicle tires. The contract is valued at an undisclosed amount, with a sole source notice to be posted on the Government Point of Entry (GPE) for seven days. The contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available for these specialized FOD mitigation materials.
