This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under FAR 6.302-1, citing "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."

The Government does not own a complete F/A-18 drawing package with Government Purpose Rights, and only TBC possesses the necessary technical data.
