Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)" for the overhaul of Balance Spindle assemblies and Power Take Off (PTO) shafts. It outlines the rationale for soliciting from a single source, Collins Aerospace.

• Procurement Need: The Balance Spindle assemblies are required for the [REDACTED] and Power Take Off (PTO) shafts. These assemblies need to be dynamically balanced to tight tolerances to prevent torsional vibration.
• Sole Source Justification: Collins Aerospace is the only source because the equipment designs, technical data, assembly drawings, and engineering methodologies are proprietary. They have confirmed they have no authorized distributors or resellers for this overhaul service.
• Urgency: The overhaul is necessary to avoid inevitable work stoppage at Hill AFB when the current balance equipment requires repair. Repair can only be performed by Collins Aerospace and has an extensive lead time.
• Technical Basis: The overhaul process is specified in Technical Orders TM/WI F-22-D-OO-004 & TO 16G5-5-4-3.
• Competition Efforts: The designs, drawings, and technical data for the PTO Shafts and overhaul tools are proprietary to Collins Aerospace. No other manufacturers or vendors can provide the necessary overhaul tools.
• Future Strategy: Future market research will be conducted to locate additional sources. However, until Collins Aerospace is willing to sell the rights, the equipment must be acquired through them.
• Contracting Officer's Determination: The Contracting Officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
