This document is a "Memorandum For File" justifying a non-competitive procurement action for engineering services under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It details the requirement for Finite Element Analysis of a re-designed MAF Shipping & Installation Fixture, including preliminary adequacy assessments, engineering calculations, numerical simulations, and/or prototype fabrication and testing.

This justification memo indicates that the government intends to sole-source the procurement of these engineering services to Collins Aerospace/Goodrich. The rationale provided is that Collins Aerospace/Goodrich is uniquely qualified due to their prior successful execution of related tasks, their development of the existing design, and their first-hand knowledge and experience with developing the SIF. The estimated cost is between [REDACTED] and the period of performance is six months after contract award. Bidders should note that this opportunity is not expected to be competed.
