    Single Source Justification Redacted.pdf
    The document is a Single Source Justification for a simplified acquisition by 377 MSG/PK for Classified Material Disposal, specifically for AFRL/RDOSZ. The requirement is for the destruction of classified IT materials, including computers and servers, by an Air Force Office of Special Investigation Special Projects (AFOSI PJ) approved facility. HVF Precious Materials is identified as the sole contractor meeting all requirements due to its AFOSI PJ approval and proximity, which minimizes travel time and associated costs for government personnel transporting classified materials. Efforts to obtain competition through a SAM.gov sources sought notice on December 7, 2022, yielded five responses. However, all other respondents were deemed unsuitable due to various deficiencies, including failure to meet destruction specifications (e.g., shredding size, types of equipment), lack of AFOSI PJ certification, unauthorized reselling/reusing of equipment, or inability to allow government personnel to witness destruction or accompany materials. The contracting officer determined that only HVF Precious Materials is reasonably available, and this will remain a single-source requirement until another AFOSI PJ-certified facility opens within a specific radius of Kirtland Air Force Base.
