    Sole Source Justification_CO signed.pdf
    The 18th Contracting Squadron is seeking to overhaul the Localizer Instrument Landing Systems at Kadena Air Base, Japan, due to degradation from the harsh environment. They intend to procure specific replacement parts from Indra (formerly SELEX), the designated manufacturer for this equipment, as alternatives would compromise reliability. The sole sourcing justification is based on proprietary technology, with Indra being the only capable provider. Although market research confirmed no authorized resellers exist, the contracting office plans to post a notice on SAM.gov to allow for potential competition. To avoid future single-source procurement, they will enhance market research practices. The contracting officer, TSgt Elzara Kimalova, concluded that the situation necessitates a single-source contract in compliance with FAR guidelines.
