Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: AFSC/PZABB

Project/Program Name: Cold-Spray Rework of F-15 Fuel Pump Housing

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: FD20302300013

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $144,629.76

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Overhaul of the F-15 Fuel Housing Section.

NSN: 2915-01-670-4618

PN: 214618-3

CAGE: 59875

Application: F-15

RMC: R3/D

Quantity: Minimum 5ea- Maximum 30ea

Worn surfaces on aircraft fuel pump housing will be built up using cold-spray process to add aluminum and then the housing will be machined back to desired dimensions. Eaton will use their proprietary engineering drawings (developed for original manufacture) for the necessary dimensional data.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The complexity and criticality of this item requires that the source of overhaul be an approved source possessing the data, experience, skills, and equipment necessary to restore this item to a like-new condition. Eaton, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code 59875, is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and is the only known source possessing the necessary technical data and support equipment required to overhaul this fuel housing section. The Government currently does not possess the complete technical data rights of all the required data. The Government has established Qualification Requirements (QRs) for this item. Perspective sources must meet these requirements prior to being identified as an approved source. This item requires engineering source approval in order to maintain the item's quality and technical baseline. It is not possible to draft adequate specifications for the overhaul for a competitive solicitation. Eaton, the OEM, is the only source that has met the defined QRs at this time, and thus has been listed as the only approved source.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market Research was conducted using standard contract repair screening processes. Additionally, market research techniques including Internet websites and databases (including Google.com, Thomas Register, Haystack, FedBizOpps, DSBS, SAM, and FPDS) were queried for potential sources. Known approved sources have been annotated on the current CRSAW and are as follows:

Eaton CAGE: 59875

Government defined pre-award qualification requirements of potential sources have been identified and apply to this item.

Although potential sources will be required to obtain the necessary data independently or otherwise provide proof demonstrating capability via the SAR process. All SAR package submissions submitted prior to contract award will be evaluated in accordance with established processes to ensure the highest level of competition possible. To this date, no SAR packages have submitted.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

Every effort will be continually made in the future to solicit additional sources for the cold-spray rework and overhaul of the F-15 Fuel Pump Housing Section. OC-ALC Engineering continues to utilize resources and manpower to remove barriers that prevent full and open competition.

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.
