Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the repair of two Electronic Amplifiers for the Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) system. The procurement is for NSN: 5996-01-661-0915 FD, with Purchase Request/Local ID Number FD20202500872, under the contracting activity AFSC OLH/PZAAA. The document justifies a sole-source contract with Linmarr Associates, Inc., who is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns the technical data and data rights for these amplifiers.

The 415th JTE IPT (Integrated Product Team) has attempted to procure competitive data rights but Linmarr Associates is unwilling to sell the proprietary data required for manufacture or repair. The contract aims to repair two ground-based Electronic Amplifiers used in the USAF pilot training facilities. Future efforts will include continued attempts to reach out to Linmarr Associates to procure proprietary data and facilitate competition. The Contracting Officer, Cydnee Simpson (GS-12), has determined that under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), only a single source is reasonably available for this contract action.
