SSJ for Probes and Sensors_Redacted.pdf

This Single Source Justification (SSJ) document details a sole-source acquisition for temperature sensors and probes for the Combined Test Force at Edwards Air Force Base. The procurement involves nine specific part numbers from Omega, including 37 Temp Sensors (SRTD-2), 25 Temp Sensors (CO1-K), and various temperature probes and thermocouple assemblies, totaling 107 individual components.

The justification emphasizes Omega's long-standing supplier relationship and the significant technical and financial challenges of changing suppliers mid-project. Market research confirmed no alternate part numbers or suitable substitutes exist. The contracting officer determined, per FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that a single source is reasonably available. Engineers will continue market research by attending industry conferences and symposiums to explore future competitive alternatives. The acquisition is a firm-fixed-price contract with responses due by 2:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on 20 June 2025, to be submitted to Contracting Officer Terence D. Vickers at Edwards AFB.
