    Limited Competition Justification - Sole Source (002).pdf
    The National Guard Bureau is requesting the acquisition of a Skyko Smart Safety System for the Hydraulic Mule at a total cost of $18,000. This contract, which is a firm fixed price action, is justified under 41 USC 1901, allowing solicitation from a single source due to the unique specifications of the equipment. The Skyko system, solely manufactured by Skyko International, provides a sophisticated electrical interlocking circuit that is critical for the operation of Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE). Its capability to program and adjust current flow is vital as the Hydraulic Mule can draw up to twice the permissible current of existing systems, making this smart disconnect essential. Previous procurement efforts have confirmed that no alternative devices meet these requirements. Additionally, extensive market research was conducted to ensure that this equipment represents the only viable solution. The request is certified as fair and reasonable by both the Technical Representative, MSgt Charles Workman, and Contracting Officer Matthew D. Corcoran. This initiative underscores the necessity of specific safety equipment that complies with regulations for aircraft maintenance.
