About this file
This is a Memorandum for Record documenting a single source acquisition determination for proprietary OEM replacement parts for the Wollard International MB-2 Flight Line Tow Vehicle, issued by the 6th Air Refueling Wing (AMC) at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida on 27 May 2026.
The Air Force has determined that only one source is available to fulfill the requirement and has cited authority under FAR 12.102(a) to pursue a one-source acquisition. The required parts are proprietary OEM components essential for safe flightline operations. Aftermarket "or equal" parts cannot be substituted because they do not guarantee exact fit or compatibility, creating risk of mission failure. Per an official letter from the manufacturer TLD America dated 10 January 2025, Kampi Components (CAGE: 7Z016) is designated as the exclusive authorized distributor for all TLD spare parts sold to the U.S. Government, making it the only responsible source capable of fulfilling this requirement. The acquisition is valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The primary point of contact is SSgt Evan Halnon at evan.halnon@us.af.mil, 813-828-7465. The memorandum is signed by TSgt Nelson J. Vargas, Contracting Officer, Base Support Flight, and approved by Ramon Jimenez, Flight Chief, Base Support Flight.
