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

As confirmed in writing by the AAD manufacturer (Airtec GmbH & Co.), SSK Military Industries Inc. is Airtec's exclusive authorized distributor of Military CYPRES in the United States. Army Technical Bulletin (TB) 43-0001-80, lists the Airtec CYPRES as the only authorized AAD permitted to be installed on RA-1 Advanced Ram Air Parachute Systems prior to use.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The AAD's were initially requested through mandatory stock programs, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and GSA Global Supply.

Coordination with the 6th Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS) revealed that the stock programs did not currently have the items in the Air Force System (i.e. out of stock).

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

The 6th LRS has been informed that the CYPRES AAD is required for Military Free Fall Program operations sustainment capability. LRS has added the CYPRES AAD (NSN 1670-01-598-6139) to the base supply system. We will continue to monitor stock program inventory prior to executing any contract actions.
