About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for a Fuel Oil Heat Exchange Filtration System from the 366th Contracting Squadron at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho. The justification supports sole source procurement of a Hot Flush flusher system for cleaning F-15 heat exchangers while installed on aircraft to reduce maintenance hours and aircraft downtime.
The document establishes that Hot Flush Inc. is the only approved source, as their system is the sole heat exchanger flushing equipment tested and approved by the F-15 System Program Office (SPO). The SPO conducted research and in-person demonstrations confirming this is the only commercially available equipment meeting requirements. The contracting officer determined on November 21, 2024 that a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The document indicates the SPO will continue searching for other approved systems and surveying the marketplace for future requirements. This procurement is not a bridge action and will be awarded after December 11, 2024.
