    The 164th Airlift Wing Maintenance Squadron in Memphis, TN, requires an Automated Battery Maintenance System (ABMS) to enhance the maintenance and management of C-17 aircraft storage batteries. The proposed system, specifically the Christie/MarathonNorco 10X ABMS, aims to replace existing charging equipment with features that include compatibility with various battery chemistries, simultaneous operation of multiple chargers, and adherence to USAF servicing guidelines. Key functionalities include automated monitoring of battery health, provision of maintenance records, auto shut-down capabilities during malfunctions, and necessary operator training and documentation.

    The document outlines the justification for a sole source acquisition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, specifically detailing the procurement of a Christie/MarathonNorco 10X Automated Battery Maintenance System (10X-ABMS). This system is necessary for maintaining C17A aircraft storage batteries, which are crucial to the aircraft's emergency systems. The contracting officer must demonstrate that only one source is available to meet the government’s needs, and in this case, the 10X-ABMS is the only compatible upgrade with existing equipment. Market research indicated a lack of competitive options, confirming that the item is unique and necessary. The justification cites that a sources sought announcement had previously netted only one small business response, indicating limited competition. However, the purchase will still be set aside for small businesses, as there appears to be adequate competition for future acquisitions. The document concludes with the signature of the contracting officer, affirming that pursuing this sole source purchase is in the government’s best interest under the circumstances, provided funds are available. This procurement process highlights the government's adherence to regulations while trying to ensure that necessary supplies and services are procured efficiently.
