Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Determination & Findings document for a single-source procurement justification submitted by the Department of the Air Force, 81st Contracting Squadron, dated 4 August 2026.

The procurement concerns the acquisition of three (3) InBody 770S Body Fat Assessment Machines, part number InBody 770S, as required under IAWA DAFMAN 36-2905. The contracting officer determined that only one source—Biospace (operating as InBody)—is reasonably capable of fulfilling this requirement. Market research on the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule identified only this single small business vendor meeting the specification, and a previously posted Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov yielded no alternative capable vendors. The justification cites regulatory authority under RFO 8.401 and GSAR 538.7104-3(a) for FSS Orders, establishing that the circumstances of the acquisition deem only one source reasonably capable of providing the products. The contracting officer, Kristopher Kostenko, SSgt, USAF, approved the sole-source action and recommended the procurement be approved under "Other Than Full and Open Competition." The signatory authority for this determination is the Contracting Officer, in accordance with DAF Approval Authorities Matrix PM 26-C-11.
