Justification
The sole source award to Hydratight Operations, Inc. (Enerpac) is justified because the SWE18965DTT kits are specifically designed for the F117 engine, and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) does not authorize substitution with alternate tools. Market research, including outreach to small businesses, did not identify any viable alternative suppliers capable of meeting the specific requirements. The government will continue market research to explore potential distributors or other manufacturers.
