Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the repair of a TWC Transmitter for the AN/TSQ-T10 Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) weapon system. The procurement is for 4 transmitters, with a Purchase Request/Local ID Number of FD20202500870, under the Air Force Sustainment Center. Applied Systems Engineering, Inc. (ASE) is the sole source contractor, as they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary technical data and rights for these items.

The justification details that ASE is the only source capable of repairing the transmitters, having declined to sell the necessary technical information to other potential vendors. The government has attempted to obtain competitive sources but was unsuccessful. The document indicates future efforts will focus on reaching out to the OEM to procure proprietary data for potential future competitive acquisitions. The estimated contract cost is redacted, and the contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available in accordance with federal acquisition regulations.
