    The General Services Administration, through the Federal Acquisition Service, seeks approval for a sole source procurement of High-Density Storage Systems (HDSSs) from Fed-Source, Inc. This acquisition involves delivering and installing three HDSS units at various Air Force bases, including Davis-Monthan AFB, Moody AFB, and Patrick SFB. The procurement is essential for enhancing operational efficiency and storage capabilities. Although Fed-Source's quote includes components outside its Federal Supply Schedule contract, these open market items are crucial for the full functionality of the systems. The justification for restricting competition is rooted in the unique qualifications of Fed-Source, which is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the required systems and components. Market research indicated that the open market items, including installation and ancillary equipment, are integral to the HDSS solutions and cannot be sourced separately without risking delays and compatibility issues. The procurement meets the criteria under FAR Part 13.5 for simplified acquisition procedures, allowing for justification of a sole source approach. The overall aim is to ensure timely and effective improvement of storage solutions while adhering to legal procurement standards and maintaining operational integrity across the Air Force bases.
