    The memorandum details the procurement process for a sole-source contract by the Army Contracting Command for a specific supply item, the 3M Scotch-Weld Positioning Fabric Style AF-3306-2, essential for Sikorsky helicopter main rotor blades. The contract falls under the simplified acquisition threshold, qualifying for limited competition due to its brand-name requirement linked to critical safety considerations. The memorandum outlines the contracting office's details, contract vehicle, and anticipated delivery timeline of 30 days. The decision to limit competition is justified based on the need for a material that has passed necessary qualification tests and is exclusively authorized for critical applications, thereby ensuring safety during military operations. Market research was conducted through direct inquiries to 3M distributors and formal source requests on government platforms, confirming the lack of alternative suppliers for the specified fabric. The contracting officer concludes that proceeding with this sole-source procurement is in the Government's best interest, reinforcing the necessity of using approved materials for maintaining aircraft safety.
