This Sole Source Determination Memorandum outlines the justification for a single-source procurement of Boston Gear LLC items for the United States Army or Letterkenny Army Depot (LEAD). The items (B00355:6LCP7, B00356:6LCP7, B00360:6LCP7, B00361:6LCP7, B00366:6LCP7) are critical for supporting forecasted AMG RESET & FIELDINGS through May 2027. The rationale for sole-sourcing is that Boston Gear was the original commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) supplier for components used in the Antenna Mast Group (AMG) Gearbox. LEAD lacks access to Boston Gear LLC's proprietary technical information and drawings, and does not possess the skilled engineering personnel or funding required to reverse engineer the gearbox. Any design changes would necessitate a full recertification of the entire AMG system. The current production process requires 100% replacement of gearboxes, making these components essential for Army readiness. Although market research indicates multiple vendors/distributors, the unique circumstances necessitate this brand-name, sole-source purchase to avoid significant costs, delays, and maintain operational readiness.
