Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a Single Source Justification for the acquisition of specific parts for the F-35 Versatile Depot Automatic Test Station (VDATS) Missile Remote Interface Unit (MRIU) program. The justification is based on Virginia Panel Corporation (VPC) being the sole manufacturer capable of providing components that meet the required form, fit, and function to ensure the operational integrity of the VDATS test stand. Attempts to integrate alternative substitutes have resulted in mission failure due to an inability to meet critical tolerance specifications.

The document lists 40 specific parts, including enclosures, ITAs, protective covers, adapter plates, patchcords, signal cables, and inspection tools, with their respective part numbers (P/N), quantities, and unit prices. The total estimated contract cost is $36,287.13.

• Delivery: 120 days After Receipt of Order (ARO).

This document is a justification for a single-source acquisition, not a solicitation requiring proposal submissions. Efforts to obtain competition included a part number search on ESI, 2GIT, and GSA, as well as posting RFIs to 2GIT, GSA, and NASA SEWP, all of which yielded no results. VPC also stated they do not have authorized resellers.

This is a single-source justification, indicating no set-aside or specific eligibility requirements for other vendors.

The government will continue to solicit industry to determine if capability has expanded or if VPC establishes other sourcing agreements to afford competition in the future.
