The proposed contract action is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1. Air Cruisers Company, LLC is the only source capable of responding to this requirement, due to the unique or specialized nature of work. The lift rafts and blocks need to be installed in the KC130J aircraft wing without any undesired and unnecessary modifications and subsequent re-training on use and maintenance on the raft. These rafts are listed as part of the KC-130J configuration via ECP C-130-128 Aircrew Systems Change and are the only rafts certified for use on the KC-130J.
