This document is a Contracting Officer's Determination Memorandum for Sole Source Purchase, indicating a justification for acquiring goods or services from a single source without competition, for an amount less than the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT).

This document explains the rationale for a sole source purchase of a specific Glenair 550T002NF3CCPOL Connector, Micro-D Backshell. The justification highlights that this specific component is the only one meeting stringent MIL-DTL-83513 standards for high-vibration and extreme temperature military aerospace applications. The memo details that using an alternative part would lead to significant risks, including extensive re-qualification testing, schedule delays, budget overruns, reduced reliability, potential data loss, and unacceptable programmatic, financial, technical, and safety risks. This information is crucial for potential bidders to understand the specific technical requirements and the rationale behind the sole source decision for this particular component.
