- Set-Aside: None (sole source).
- Published Date: March 26, 2026

Rationale for Sole Source

- This is a second or subsequent acquisition directly from the actual manufacturer.
- The specific part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality.
- SECTURION SYSTEMS, INC. (6W4L1) is identified as the only capable source possessing the necessary technical data, manufacturing, testing, and certification capabilities.
- The government does not possess sufficient rights to the required data (drawings, specifications, test equipment/procedures) to support a competitive solicitation.
- Market research indicated no other contractors expressed interest, and no Source Approval Request (SAR) has been received from other potential sources.
