This document is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) for a simplified acquisition related to the Unmanned Multiple Threat Emitter (UMTE) program. The document justifies a sole-source contract with Leonardo DRS for repair, modification, and return of Electron Tube connectors (NSN 5960013911308). Leonardo DRS is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary data rights, technical capabilities, and facilities required to perform the specialized repair and modification work.

The contract involves repairing 3 Electron Tube connectors, with the 415th UMTE program seeking to maintain competition by pursuing future data rights from DRS. The justification notes that other vendors cannot modify the connectors due to obsolescence issues. The contract includes multiple line items for data reporting, including Commercial Asset Visibility, Repairable Item Inspection Reports, Counterfeit Protection Program documentation, and potential Engineering Change Proposals. The contract is with the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center, with delivery destinations including Barstow, CA and Hill AFB, UT, and a contract award date of 27-Jul-2025.
