    SS for VSFB Power Pro_CO_S_20240708 cop.pdf
    The document outlines a justification for a single-source procurement regarding the repair of a Cummins generator at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The generator is inoperable and essential for providing emergency backup power to the 21st Space Operations Squadron. Only a certified Cummins technician can perform the necessary repairs due to the proprietary software and specialized knowledge required to address issues with the generator's Human Machine Interface and control panel. The contracting activity initiated market research but determined that full competition is impractical, given the unique requirements of the repair. The justification states that prompt and effective service is critical for maintaining emergency power capabilities. There are no feasible steps to prevent future sole-source awards due to the proprietary nature of the required services. The contracting officer has certified the accuracy, completeness, and fairness of the anticipated costs associated with this acquisition. The document ultimately serves to formalize and support the decision to engage a single-source contractor for urgent repairs, ensuring operational readiness for critical military functions.
