SSJ for Quintus.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification document from the Department of the Air Force, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex at Tinker Air Force Base, dated September 10, 2025.

The 76th CMXG is requesting a one-year basic contract with two one-year options for Preventive Maintenance (PM) services on a Quintus Warm Forming Press (Model OC25552) located at Tinker Air Force Base. The press is used by the Sheet Metal shop to manufacture and repair replacement parts in support of multiple buildings (B52, KC135, E3, E6, B1, and B2). The contract is justified as a sole source acquisition because Quintus Technologies, LLC, the original equipment manufacturer, does not perform standalone PM services. However, the OEM has authorized Hartech Group to represent them and respond to solicitations on their behalf regarding military equipment and projects. Market research using System for Award Management (SAM) databases and NAICS Code 811310 identified only one source capable of providing the required PM services under PSC J049. The Government intends to continue monitoring the market for potential future sources to avoid repeat single source acquisitions.

The proposed sole source vendor is Hartech Group LLC, located at 3030 N. Rocky Point Dr. W, Suite 150, Tampa, FL 33607, with point of contact Julie Baumer (317-691-1279, julieb@hartechgroup.us), CAGE code 6H5F3, classified as a Large Business. The contracting officer has determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances warrant a single source procurement.
