About this file
This single source justification document outlines the acquisition of Perfect Point E-Drills from a sole source supplier by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center located at Edwards Air Force Base. The justification cites the unique capabilities of the supplier's product and the vital need of end users for the items on a constrained timeline before the end of the fiscal year. As no other similar products were available in the market, the acquisition team was unable to pursue further competition through requests for information. The justification commits the government team to future due diligence in showing that no new sources of comparable items have emerged in subsequent acquisition efforts through methods like requests for information or sources sought notices. The contracting officer determined that in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), only a single source was reasonably available for this contract action.
