The proposed job order is for services in which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, (to Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (Cobham), Lansdale Inc., 305 Richardson Rd. Lansdale, PA 19446) under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). This is being sole sourced because only one source will satisfy the requirement.

Cobham maintains a high degree of technical expertise concerning said systems. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data, duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through any other source.
