COMMERCIAL ONLY ONE SOURCE/BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION

This document is a sole source justification submitted by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers (FLC) to justify restricting competition to a single source in accordance with FAR 12.102(a). Purchase Request Number 2026004156 seeks to procure technical service representative services from L3 Harris Technologies, Inc. to groom and validate the current XG-75 Hydra System and radio (C2 CASREP 25024). The manufacturer point of contact is Michael McPhatter at L3 Harris Technologies, Inc., classified as a large business (Other than Small per NAICS). The manufacturer's CAGE codes are listed as 1PRN4 and SLVERBJAVN4, with phone contact 434-455-9234 or 434-258-1474.

The justification establishes that the XG-75 system operates exclusively on the proprietary AN/SRC-55(V) Hierarchical Yet Dynamically Reprogrammable Architecture (HYDRA) system infrastructure already installed on T-AKE vessels, making L3 Harris Technologies the only compatible source. The document notes that modifications to support alternative systems would require complete HYDRA system redesign, significant ship alterations, and substantially increased costs for system procurement, logistics, training, and supportability. Additionally, work performed by any other company would void liability and warranty coverage. Technical data governing the required services is contained in restricted technical manuals and drawings controlled under 22 CFR Parts 120-130 (ITAR), with disclosure limited to authorized persons and L3 Harris Technologies as the OEM.
