    The Single Source Justification detailing procurement for ADB Safegate components outlines a necessary contract for the repair of the Airfield Lighting Control Master Control Cabinet and its surge protection system at Offutt AFB, NE. The requirement focuses on brand-specific components vital for maintaining the cybersecure integrity of the Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCS), as compatibility with existing ADB Safegate hardware is essential for operational safety and regulatory compliance. Market research confirms that ADB Safegate is the sole provider for these critical components, with no viable alternatives available, reinforcing the rationale for a single-source procurement. The determination was made in accordance with FAR guidelines, emphasizing that only ADB Safegate can ensure system functionality without compromising the Authority to Operate (ATO) required by the Air Force's cyber security framework. Further steps are planned to reconsider future procurement strategies to avoid similar single-source awards. This document serves as a formal justification for the contracting decision in alignment with federal acquisition protocols.
