This document is a Sole Source Justification for Commercial Items using FAR 13.5 for a TEST SET, RADIO procurement by the Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WSS - Mechanicsburg). The document justifies the direct procurement of a radio communication test set from ROHDE & SCHWARZ USA, INC., the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), for unsecure/secure radio communication equipment used on multiple platforms including Air Stations and Aircraft.

Key details include a required delivery date of 03/20/2027, with an option period of 365 days, and a procurement based on the unique technical specifications of the CMA-180 model. The justification emphasizes that the government does not own the technical data and can only acquire the item directly from the manufacturer. The procurement was synopsized in the government-wide point of entry on 02/15/2025, with the contracting officer determining the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. NAVSUP WSS plans to encourage future competition by reviewing and sourcing alternative engineering sources for potential future procurements.
