This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the repair of a Horn Waveguide, Group IIa Antenna associated with the Multiple Threat Emitter System (MUTES) for the Air Force Sustainment Center. The procurement is for Space Machine (cage: 25531), the sole source contractor, to repair a specific NSN 5985-01-536-9700FD component. Market research was conducted using tools like AVCOM, BICS, EDA, and other databases, which confirmed no other sources were viable for this repair. The government determined that Space Machine was the only contractor willing to Test, Teardown and Evaluate the assets, and they previously successfully repaired a similar asset in 2022 under a prior contract. After this repair, the government plans to explore adding Space Machine to the IDIQ to prevent future single-source requirements.
