Single Source Justification or Brand Name_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification form for a Simplified Acquisition detailing a contract for Mustang Dynamometer equipment. The contract, initiated by Contracting Activity 502 CONS/JBKAE with Purchase Request F2MTR5106A001, requires the contractor to remove existing dynamometers and turnover a new 2-MD-AWD-150-EV Chassis Dynamometer with 88-inch outer track and 89"-127" wheelbase to DRMO. The government will provide dynamometers using existing electrical infrastructure and ensure full installation and functionality.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on Mustang Dynamometer being the sole manufacturer of these specific products. A Request for Information (RFI) was posted on 22 July 2025 to explore alternative contractors, but no viable alternatives were found. The contracting officer, Lance Watters from DAF, determined on 30 July 2025 that only a single source is reasonably available. The agency plans to conduct a thorough market survey and consult with a subject matter expert to potentially reduce future single-source acquisitions and address potential barriers in subsequent procurement processes.
