This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition by the 355th Contracting Squadron.

The 48th Rescue Squadron requires a DZCO (Drop Zone Control Officer) deployment kit consisting of brand-specific and equivalent items essential for performance, durability, and interoperability with existing squadron equipment. Brand Name Only (BNO) items include two Phantom AZL-15 Kits, four Pelican 1630 Protector Transport Cases, and four Kestrel Weather Meters. Firm specification items consist of two Pull Up Cords Wind Blade (medium size with POLE SET & BAG MEDIUM equipment and 48 ROS logo design, production type). Brand Name or Equal (BNoE) items include four Vortex Binoculars (Crossfire HD 8x42), eight generic weights from Amazon, and four Cammenga Compass (Tritium Lensatic). The justification emphasizes that the Phantom AZL-15 Kit's infrared capabilities are specifically compatible with squadron night vision devices for safe covert operations, the Vortex Binoculars and Cammenga Compass are proven reliable in harsh field conditions for navigation in complete darkness, the Pelican 1630 case provides certified durability and environmental sealing for sensitive equipment protection during transport and airdrop, and the Kestrel Weather Meter is a specialized tool critical for accurate wind speed and atmospheric density calculations essential to parachute operation safety. The contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The document also indicates the procurement will be solicited as a Brand Name Only award with a Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside. The purchase request local ID number is F1PT5A6075A002.
