    The document outlines a Single Source Justification for maintenance services for the CASS Compressor machine. The contracting activity is identified as 71FTW/CONF, with a project cost estimated at $34,160.74. Kaeser Compressors, Inc, the manufacturer of the machine, is designated as the sole source for required parts and maintenance because they are the only vendor capable of providing the necessary filters and parts. Despite attempts to find alternative vendors, none were able to service or provide parts for the machine due to its specificity. The contracting officer, Sarah Adekunle, confirmed that only a single source is available for this service in accordance with FAR regulations. Future efforts will be made to monitor the market for other possible vendors, but for the current need, Kaeser Compressors remains the only viable option. The document serves to justify a sole-source procurement approach given the constraints of the market and equipment.
