A02 - MFR - Limiting Competition under SAT - KO SIGNED REDACTED.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for limiting competition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for a new requirement procurement by the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal.

The procurement involves a HYTORC torque wrench set to support the FRS M7A1 Project, valued under the $350,000 active SAT threshold with fixed-price terms. The contractor is HYTORC, identified as the only reasonable source available. The kit includes eleven line items with specific part numbers and quantities: two Lightning Smart Battery units, one Low Clearance Bolting Machine, one Stealth-2 Ratchet Link, one Reaction Pad with Pin and Ring, three Safety Handles, three TL-HY-Case units, five HY-Care Plan Standard packages, two Low Clearance Power Heads, two Versa-1 36MM Link units, one Versa Reaction Pad with Pin, and three 15-foot Steel Twinline Hose Assemblies. The proposed contract excludes option provisions. Funding is designated as C-AWCF for Fiscal Year 2027. The justification cites RFO FAR 12.102(a), establishing that only one source is available because the current JMTC inventory of torque wrenches was supplied by HYTORC, and sourcing from an alternative vendor would create undue burden, require maintaining duplicate tool sets, and prevent proper support to the warfighter's mission. Market research was completed on September 18, 2026, and public display and synopsis requirements apply. Price analysis was conducted using historical quotes, market, and catalog prices to verify fair and reasonable pricing.
