    A. P24-009 SSJ_Redacted2.pdf
    The document outlines a Sole Source Justification from the Department of the Air Force for purchasing Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) material and services from Hyperion Materials & Technologies, specifically 45,000 Carats of CBN-570. Valued at $231,000, Hyperion is identified as the sole certified supplier according to Air Force Technical Order 2-1-111, which eliminates the possibility of alternative sources. Hyperion lacks a cage code but permits Electroplating Consultants International (ECI) to supply both the material and support services, with ECI holding an active cage code as a small business. Due to the technical requirements set forth, no market research was conducted, and future sourcing from alternative vendors is also deemed improbable unless Hyperion authorizes additional distributors. This aligns with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), justifying the decision to proceed with a single-source acquisition. The document concludes with the names of the Contracting Officer and Program Manager involved in the procurement process.
    Single Source Justification CBN Hyperion Cleaning Service Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a Sole Source Justification from the Department of the Air Force for the procurement of 45,000 Carats of CBN-570 materials, specifically referring to Hyperion Materials & Technologies as the only certified supplier in accordance with Air Force Technical Order T.O. 2-1-111. Due to Hyperion's status and their authorization for Electroplating Consultants International (ECI) to supply the necessary materials, no market research was conducted, and it is concluded that only a single source is available for this requirement. The absence of additional distributors is noted, emphasizing that Hyperion's endorsement is essential for compliance. This action aligns with the Federal Acquisition Regulation, as it is determined that no other supplier meets the technical order's specifications. Thus, the contract is justified based on the unique qualifications of Hyperion as the trusted supplier for Pratt & Whitney, underpinning the Air Force's adherence to specified criteria in sourcing materials.
