Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the procurement of Manual Reverse Osmosis Filters. It explains the rationale for soliciting from a single source.

• Description of Supplies/Services: 84 Manual Reverse Osmosis Devices are required for the 28th Operations Group to equip ACES II survival kits for the 28th Bomb Wing's B-1 aircraft. These devices are critical for aircrew survivability by purifying water during operational theaters.
• Justification for Single Source: The specified asset is authorized by Technical Order 1451-3-51 and Katadyn Desalinations LLC is the sole manufacturer. No other company produces a device meeting the required military specifications, and any new asset would require extensive testing.
• Urgent Operational Requirement: A recent directive mandates that all aircraft operating in the theater be equipped with these assets, making a brand-name solicitation essential for rapid and efficient fulfillment.
• Efforts to Obtain Competition: Market research and vendor outreach confirmed that only Katadyn produces this asset; other identified companies were third-party distributors.
• Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards: A long-term contract with Katadyn Desalinations LLC is being established to transition procurement through DLA and base supply channels, but this will not be finalized in time for the current urgent need.
• Contracting Officer's Determination: The Contracting Officer has determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available.

This document indicates that the upcoming solicitation for Manual Reverse Osmosis Filters will likely be a brand-name or sole-source procurement, limiting competition. Bidders should note the specific product required and the justification for the single-source approach.
