About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the purchase of 10 Sleeve Bellows and 3 Mount Assembly Shocks for the Photo-Sonics Cinisextant Electro Mechanical Optical tracking System. The estimated contract cost is not provided. The justification states that Photo-Sonics Inc. is the sole source for these proprietary components, and that reverse engineering the parts would be prohibitively costly and risky. The 30th Contracting Squadron (30 CONS) intends to award this requirement on a sole source basis under FAR 13.106-1 to Photo-Sonics Inc. This acquisition is classified under NAICS 334511 with a small business size standard of 1,150 employees. No set-aside is mentioned. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements by 1130 Pacific Time on 26 April 2024 to demonstrate their ability to provide the same items.

Section A: General Contract Information
Yes NoIs this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan?
Contracting Activity: 30th Contracting Squadron (30 CONS/PKB)
Project/Program Name: Bellows & Shock Assembly
Purchase Request / Local ID Number:
Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):
Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required
10ea Sleeve Bellows, 3ea Mount Shock Assy for Photo-Sonics Cinisextant Electro Mechanical Optical tracking System.
Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name
Based off of market research, Photo-Sonics Inc is the sole source of these parts and there are no know resellers. Components are proprietary. Exact specs and dimensions are not available for re-manufacture. DOPI does not consider the time, cost and risk of attempting to reverse engineer these parts worth perusing. Cinisextant replacement cost is estimated at $5mil.
Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition
The Replacement Parts for the Cinisextant Electro Mechanical Optical tracking System are only produced by Photo-Sonics. The cost to re-engineer the system to use other parts would be prohibitive and the technology is proprietary with no resellers or distributors.
Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards
We will work with the manufacturer to keep apprised of opportunities to purchase from resellers or distributers in the future.
Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination
I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
