This document is a Single Source Justification for the acquisition of Alta Data Technologies PCIe modules and cable harnesses for the 309 Software Engineering Group (SWEG). The modules are essential for the Embedded Diagnostics System (EDS) Re-Engineering Proof of Concept (EDS II) effort, specifically to support system test capabilities within the C5 Systems Integration Lab (SIL). The justification for a single source is based on the proprietary nature of the Integrated Test Environment (ITE) software used by SWEG, which was developed to interface exclusively with Alta Data's 1553 modules and their Application Programming Interface (API). No other manufacturer's cards are compatible, and using alternative solutions would incur significant unfunded labor costs and project delays. Efforts to obtain competition revealed that Alta Data Technologies does not authorize third-party resellers. To preclude future single-source awards, the market will be scanned for new authorized resellers. The Contracting Officer determined that only a single source is reasonably available, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
