About this file
This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for a limited source acquisition over the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold under FAR 8.405-6.
The memorandum describes the requirement for the McGhee Tyson Air National Guard unit to acquire L3Harris brand radios to match their existing equipment and enhance air-to-ground communications capabilities. The estimated purchase amount is $46,500. Market research indicated multiple capable vendors, but the L3Harris radios are required to be compatible with the existing fleet. The contracting officer has determined that L3Harris is the only reasonably available source to meet the government's needs at this time, though alternate brands will be considered for future acquisitions when the entire radio fleet may be replaced. The justification approves the limited competition subject to fund availability.
