Single Source Justification - Lavatory Service Truck (Accident) Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for contracting activity 628 CONS. The contract involves lavatory service vehicle accident repairs under purchase request F1M3T45063AQ01, with an estimated contract cost that has been redacted from the document.

The required services include structural testing, performance checking, and repair of specialized and proprietary systems used for aircraft ground servicing operations, specifically addressing repair of body and structural damages from a vehicular accident. The justification for single source procurement centers on warranty requirements - the vehicle damage occurred before entering service, and the manufacturer's warranty coverage requires repairs to be completed by the original manufacturer, General Truck Body (A Reading Truck Equipment Company). The contracting officer notes that using any other vendor would nullify the warranty and require permanent removal of the asset from the Air Force Vehicle fleet, resulting in a 25% loss of ground servicing capability at JB Charleston and a $400K deficit in Air Force capitalized funds. The document was signed by Contracting Officer Octavio Valverde, MSgt on July 8, 2025, with the determination made under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
