This is a Single Source Justification form for a simplified acquisition under the Air Force Space Command. The contracting activity is AFSC OL/H/PZAAA, with project designation JTE AN/TSQ-T10. The acquisition concerns the repair of an electronic ring, model 5977015988336FD, with an estimated contract cost that is redacted from the document. The contractor must furnish all necessary facilities, parts, materials, data, equipment, and services required to repair and return a serviceable electronic ring.

The justification for single-source procurement centers on limited data rights and restricted repair services available only through Linmarr Associates, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and Rotating Precision Mechanics, Inc. (RPM), an authorized distributor. RPM has declined to provide sufficient technical data for independent repair or manufacturing, and the OEM is unwilling to sell proprietary data to the government. The 415th JTE program and associated engineers will pursue an annual purchase of data rights from RPM to facilitate future competition. Future efforts will include outreach to the OEM to procure proprietary data necessary for successful repair, with the goal of establishing Linmarr as the sole source for this National Stock Number. The contracting officer's determination, dated 02 April 2026, confirms that single-source procurement is the only reasonably available option under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
