About this file
This memorandum provides a sole source justification for upgrading the T700 DECU and EHC test stands. The Army Contracting Command at Corpus Christi Army Depot seeks to award a firm-fixed price purchase order to Southwest Research Institute for software updates to allow integration of new rack mounted UPS, AC power supplies, and printers into the T700 DECU and EHC test stands. The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold when there is only one source reasonably available. It states that Southwest Research Institute designed the modern DECU test stand and was selected by GE as the original equipment manufacturer to support and implement any necessary changes to the systems. The update is considered essential to retaining the program and generating revenue for these assets, as the government will be unable to meet future production schedules if the test stands are not upgraded.
The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number W912NW23Q0063 for the upgrade of the T700 DECU and EHC test systems from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal.
