This is a Justification for Brand Name Sole Source procurement form for simplified acquisitions under $250,000 submitted by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center San Diego.

The requisition (R098155364R006) seeks a brand-name-only procurement of URC-300 VHF/UHF Software-Defined Transceivers and associated accessories manufactured exclusively by General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS). The procurement includes five line items: Black Backpack System (4 units), DC Power Cable (4 units), AC/DC Power Supply 10W systems (4 units), Headset (8 units), and H-250 Handset (8 units). The required delivery date is 10 September 2026, representing 120 days from the projected award date. The justification emphasizes that the URC-300 is a proprietary system with highly specialized RF architecture enabling multiple transceivers to operate within 6.5 feet without frequency interference, capabilities unavailable from competing tactical man-pack radios. The equipment must integrate with the Government's existing URC-300 family infrastructure including power supplies, remote control units, backpack systems, antennas, and permanently installed RF wiring. The justification cites mandatory DoD/FAA certifications and military authorizations required for National Airspace System and DoW spectrum compliance, along with GDMS's proprietary interoperability features for legacy integration. The procurement was supported by a sources sought notice identifying two small business authorized distributors—Carroll Woods, Inc. and ACG Systems, Inc.—as capable alternative sources. The form was certified by Michael B. Aguilera (ERT Program Manager, CTG1, USNR) on 24 April 2026 and concurred by Contracting Officer Jose G. Juarez.
