Statutory authority is 10 USC 2304(c)(1), Justification: Supplies (or Services) required are available from only one or a limited number of responsible source(s) and no other type of supplies or service will satisfy agency requirements.

The Boeing Company (Ogden Utah site) is considered the only organization that has the requisite skills, capabilities, system expertise, and resources to accomplish the required replacement of the SDS. Subject to the Government's consideration, a viable source, not already qualified to provide the requisite services should submit a concise and program specific response presenting sufficient information to substantiate that they have demonstrated: (1) They possess the necessary Minuteman III missile system knowledge and understanding of ICBM weapon system requirements.
