About this file
This document contains a sole source justification and description of repair services required for a Verson Fluid Cell Press. The Air Force Sustainment Center requires test, teardown, evaluation, and repair services for a Verson Model 60000R-50-240 fluid cell press owned by Tinker Air Force Base to be performed by Enprotech Industrial Technologies, the original equipment manufacturer. The estimated value of the firm fixed price contract is unavailable with a period of performance of 30 days after award. Market research found no other qualified sources due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and lack of data rights. The solicitation is expected to be issued with authority under FAR 6.302-1(b)(2) for these critical repair services to minimize aircraft repair delays.

VI. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable.
Due to the data usage rights nature of the repair processes used by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and no expressed authorized repair centers outside the OEM, there were no efforts to create or obtain competition. During the Market Research Phase, it was previously disclosed that Data Rights have not and will not be released to industry.

Market research was performed reviewing Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) and System for Award Management (SAM) databases using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 811310 looking for any company that could provide this Service. In addition, a review of Small Businesses including: 8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, and Women Owned Small Business was conducted in search of a company that could satisfy this requirement. In review there is only one source that can provide support for this contracting action. The machine/ system has proprietary data that the OEM has no intention of selling to the Government or Industry, per the request of the Program Manager.
IX. Any other facts supporting the use of Other Than Full and Open Competition.
The test, teardown, evaluation, and repair of the Verson Fluid Cell Press has been determined to be Unusual and Compelling Urgency due to Loss of support from the Verson Fluid Cell Press will result in the work stoppage, delay of aircraft repairs, and potentially cause MICAPS. The workload summarized in Paragraph 6 is specific to the Verson press.
Alternate forming presses that are available in the shop are limited in size, capacity, and function to perform the work assigned to the Verson press. Recent experience with the off-loading of workload to other ALCs has proven both taxing on resources and economically impractical. Currently there are 84 high priority Mjobs that are now on work stop or on planning hold due to the emergency totaling over and 4,209 hours.
