Power Cable Assemblies

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies the award of a purchase order on a limited source basis for Power Cable Assemblies for assigned PAO Carts, supporting the 411 FLTS AGE Program. The justification is made on an individual basis.

• Two (2) Power Cable Assemblies are required to repair assigned PAO Carts.

• These cables connect the PAO Cart to Hangar electrical power, ensuring safe operation and preventing hazards.

• The contract will be a firm fixed-price type.

• The estimated value is not explicitly stated but falls within a range indicated on page 1 (less than $10M, $10M-$100M, $100M-$500M, or over $500M).

• Not applicable, as this document is a justification for limited source procurement, not a solicitation for proposals.

• The requirement is restricted to TLD America Corporation, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only approved vendor of PAO Cart equipment for the USAF, specifically for the F-22 Raptor.

• The Government will seek competition by soliciting authorized small business resellers of TLD equipment.

• The rationale for restricting to TLD America Corporation is that they are the sole manufacturer of the PAO Carts for the F-22 Raptor, and their proprietary components are necessary for the specific electronic connections and mission support capabilities.

• Market research included direct contact with TLD America Corporation and searches on GSA and NASA SEWP, which yielded no results for alternative sources.

• TLD America Corporation provided two authorized small business resellers.

• The Contracting Officer will determine if the contract cost/price is fair and reasonable.

• The Government will continue to monitor the market for other PAO Cart manufacturers that may meet mission requirements and gain USAF approval.
