This Single Source Justification document details a sole-source acquisition for biannual preventive maintenance and repair services for a mission-critical Ingersoll Rand Model R160I-A125 rotary screw air compressor (serial number V1859U13149) located in Building 8250. The compressor is essential for air-launched cruise missile maintainer training, and the maintenance must be performed by a vendor with specialized expertise on this specific compressor model.

The document justifies the sole-source award to Ingersoll Rand based on their unique qualifications, including factory-authorized training, specialized diagnostic software, and proprietary tools. Market research confirmed no alternative local vendors can provide these services. The Contracting Activity (532 TRS) submitted a Request for Quote through the GSA, but potential providers like Jenks Inc. are no longer able to service the equipment. The government plans to explore long-term maintenance agreements and investigate alternative maintenance options in future acquisitions to encourage competition. The estimated contract is set to be signed on 11-Jun-2025 by the Contracting Officer, with steps outlined to preclude future single-source contracts.
