    A02 FAR Parts 6 And 13.5 J And A_NDT Modernization redacted.pdf
    The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Rock Island seeks justification for a sole-source contract to procure the VMI SMART 5100MS Scanner system for the Rock Island Arsenal's Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) lab. The purpose is to modernize equipment, with the expectation to utilize Capital Investment Program (CIP) funds. Due to a lack of viable alternatives, this action does not warrant full and open competition under FAR regulations. The system's compatibility with existing inventory and familiarity among current staff support the need for this specific brand, minimizing additional training costs and operational disruptions. The document outlines the authority granted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and details that competitive sourcing may not be practical. While market research indicated that Virtual Media Integration (VMI) is the only capable supplier at this time, future procurement actions will consider competitive options. Ultimately, the acquisition aims to enhance efficiency and readiness within the RIA-JMTC.
