Justification for Sole Source
The award was made to SAI as the only responsible source under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. SAI is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the sole entity that has manufactured this specific item. They possess the necessary manufacturing facilities, component sourcing, tooling, trained personnel, and technical expertise. The U.S. Government does not own the Technical Data Package (TDP) or intellectual property rights, and efforts to obtain the TDP from SAI were unsuccessful. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice, yielded no viable alternative sources. Reverse engineering the item to enable competition was estimated to take an unacceptable 44 months.
