SSJ - AAS 6 MO Ext (FA8203-25-C-0022) REDACTED.pdf

This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification for Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items issued by the United States Air Force in March 2023. The Air Force seeks to issue a six-month contract extension to M4 Engineering, Inc. (located at 4020 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach, CA 90807-26-83, CAGE 3LGZ2) for Engineering & Analysis Lading Gear A&AS Support under existing commercial contract FA8203-25-C-0022. The estimated contract extension value is $720,254.00, with pricing structured as Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) for service components and Cost Reimbursable-No Fee (CRNF) for travel and material. The contracting activity is USAF/AFMC OL:H/PZAAB at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, and funding will utilize CSAG-S Working Capital 4930 funds.

The justification asserts that M4 Engineering is the only responsible source capable of providing the required services without unacceptable delays and substantial cost duplication, citing continuity needs for the 417th Supply Chain Management Squadron's design and analysis requirements for landing gear structures. The Air Force conducted a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) posted February 12, 2026, with a response deadline of February 27, 2026, which received zero responses. Per FAR 6.302-1-10 (Only One Responsible Source), the Air Force determined sole-source procurement appropriate. The extension is authorized under FAR clause 52.217-8 (Option to Extend Services) and utilizes the prevailing rates established in the original contract, determined fair and reasonable at the time of the basic contract award. The contracting officer certified the action as accurate and complete.
