Under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103‐1(c)(2) (RFO), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements (10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1)), Space Systems Command intends to award this sole source contract modification to The Boeing Company, CAGE Code 9E831, located at 900 N Pacific Coast Hwy, El Segundo, CA 90245. The resultant modification to the PTES contract, FA880819C0001, will have the contractor deliver to the Government the services and supplies required to procure and manage Level 1 organizational spares, Level 2 depot spares, and limited replacements for 24 FOC JHs on an existing, unexercised CPIF Contract Line-Item. Market research conducted to date by the Government has included the posting of a Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) on 19 February 2025 and a comprehensive analysis of the responses received. The results of this market research indicate that, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) and as implemented by FAR 6.103-1(c)(2) (RFO), the Government has assessed that procuring the spares from another source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. A copy of the approved Sole Source Justification and Approval (J&A) document will be made public within 14 days of contract award.
