This is a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) for a federal contract acquisition by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Office of Procurement on behalf of the Technical Security Division (TSD).

The USSS seeks to award a purchase order to Charon Technologies LLC (13615 Dulles Technology Drive, Suite 100, Herndon, VA 20171) for Spectrum Guard training and annual maintenance warranties. The acquisition exceeds the micro-purchase threshold but falls below the simplified acquisition threshold and is justified under FAR 12.102(a) (FAR Class Deviation 25-21). The requirement includes two Spectrum Guard training sessions and ten annual maintenance warranties in the base year, with identical options for four additional years. The contract covers training on software enhancements, hardware, and methodology for radio frequency (RF) searches using Spectrum Guard equipment and associated peripheral devices previously procured by USSS. The performance period is one base year plus four optional years. Charon Technologies LLC is identified as the sole manufacturer and authorized provider of warranty, upgrades, training, maintenance, and repair services for the Spectrum Guard systems currently in use, and is the only organization authorized to provide these services without violating equipment warranty or causing performance degradation from unauthorized components and software.
