About this file

This document is a determination memorandum justifying a limited sources acquisition under the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 8 for simplified acquisition procedures. The memorandum concerns the purchase of upgraded portable transceivers for use by aeromedical evacuation crews on various military aircraft, including C-130, KC-135, KC-46 and C-17 aircraft. The transceivers allow for communication between crewmembers as they perform duties during flight. The estimated amount for the purchase is redacted. The justification for limiting the acquisition to a single source, Telephonics, is that the specific transceiver model, a Cable Transceiver C-130, is the only one listed as approved for safe use during aeromedical evacuation missions in the military's Table of Allowance 887A. The contracting officer certifies the justification is accurate and signing approval. The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of the Army National Guard for portable transceivers with an unspecified response date.
