This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a Curtiss-Wright Duranet 3300 Switch procurement by the Air Force. The contract involves purchasing two line items: a DuraNET 3300 Ethernet Switch with 24 x 1000Base-T ports (CLIN 0001) and a Starter Breakout Cable Set (CLIN 0002), with a delivery timeline of 26 weeks after receipt of order. The total estimated contract value is redacted, and only manufacturer warranty is included.

The procurement is justified as a single-source action because the Curtiss Wright Duranet 3300 offers a unique combination of technical specifications that meet specific C5 EDS II proof of concept requirements. Requests for Information were previously posted through Second-Generation Information Technology (2GIT), General Services Administration (GSA), and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement platforms from July 22-28, 2025, but received zero bids. The Contracting Officer determined that circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available, with the government monitoring advances in technology for potential future competitive acquisitions.
