A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. �Point of contact: Shelley Coffe, Contracting Officer, e-mail: shelley.coffe@us.af.mil. The contractor�s unique qualifications or nature of the acquisition requires the use of the authority cited in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source, for the following reasons: As the current service provider, PKL is uniquely positioned for the continued performance of F-15SA model aircraft specialty UGT, for RSAF students. PKL is the only company currently mobilized in KSA with fully qualified F-15SA personnel, tools, equipment and material which can perform these essential, mission-critical training services at KKTC, KAAB and KFAB. As the incumbent contractor, PKL is the only contractor with a complete understanding of the F-15SA UGT requirements and capability to maintain the level of training service required across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. PKL will ensure seamless continued performance without mission failure until such time when the RSAF can successfully take over complete UGT responsibilities.� Award to any other contractor, other than the incumbent, will require a substantial mobilization/transition period to adhere to all the Saudi labor laws and Work Visa/Iqama processes. PKL is the only practical source capable of providing the services described above without the Air Force experiencing a break in training services and/or unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements, as well as, a complete transition of UGT to the RSAF in the limited timeframe described above.
