    3. ACQ-24-H163 - SSJ - for GSE 1400 Ground Power Supply_Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines the justification for a single-source procurement for a Ground Power Unit (GPU) capable of providing up to 600 Amps of 28VDC, with adjustable voltage outputs, specifically from ITW GSE. Extensive research revealed that only ITW GSE’s unit could meet the specific voltage requirements necessary for aircraft operations at Edwards AFB. The current design constraints necessitate a unit that not only complies with electrical specifications but is also compact and safe for hangar and flightline use. Efforts to procure competition included market research through various platforms, but no suitable alternatives were identified. A combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov to seek competitive quotes from distributors. The document emphasizes the importance of ongoing market research by engineers to prevent future reliance on single-source awards. This procurement is framed within the context of simplified acquisitions as outlined in FAR regulations, underscoring the need for specific capabilities to support operational efficiency and prevent program delays.
