Sole Source Justification
The government's intent to sole source to Shock Tech, Inc. is based on the justification that Shock Tech is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of these critical Main Engine Exhaust Pipe Resilient Mounts. The use of non-OEM parts could lead to personal injury, equipment failure, and damage, as the Main Engine system is classified as critical equipment. COMSC Instruction mandates the exclusive use of OEM parts for this application.
Submission & Evaluation
The government will award a firm-fixed-price contract based on a Best Value determination, considering price, delivery, technical acceptability, and past performance.
