    JA Sole Source FAR Part 13.5 (11 AUG 2021) LOAD BANK SOLE SOURCE redacted_Redacted.pdf
    The Army Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) is pursuing a sole source contract for the replacement of a load bank on a generator test stand at the Corpus Christi Army Depot, with an estimated value of $437,052.71. This firm-fixed price contract will be funded by Army Working Capital Funds and is projected for award in Fiscal Year 2025. The justification for the sole source is based on the proprietary nature of the ATE++ software, which is essential for interfacing the load bank with the test stand, and is exclusively owned by Testek Solutions. Despite efforts to obtain competition via a Request for Information (RFI), only one response highlighted the lack of alternative vendors. The government will continue market research to explore more options. Additionally, required certifications confirm that the supporting data regarding cost and technical specifications meet governmental standards. Overall, the document underscores the necessity of the contract due to proprietary constraints while emphasizing the government’s commitment to ensuring fair pricing and thorough procurement processes.
