About this file
This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for a federal contract issued by 31 CONS Aviano AFB. The procurement involves purchasing 46 units of various Invisio communications equipment for the 57 RQS (Rescue Squadron) operators, including items such as Nemesis 19-pin EUD, V20 and V60 communication devices, Fischer communication headsets, and associated accessories. The justification for sole source procurement is based on compatibility with existing communications equipment, with the specific rationale that replacing the entire communications system would be redundant and costly.
The contract is being processed under FAR 6.302-1 authority, with a funding level between >SAT and ≤$750K. Market research was conducted, involving quotes from multiple vendors including MIGGOV, INVISIO, WEPTAC AG, and VERITECH. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable through market research and Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) comparison. The document was digitally signed on 22 Sep 2025 by the Contracting Officer Jason Haro and approved by Adam Bernas, Chief of Base Acquisition Flight.

IV. Statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition.

V. Demonstration that the contractor's unique qualifications or nature of the acquisition requires the use of the authority cited above (applicability of authority).
The 57 RQS currently possesses Invisio communications equipment, and due to parts compatibility we require the additional components to also be sourced from Invisio as they will be part of a larger system rather than stand-alone items. Furthermore, it would be redundant and significantly costly to replace all related communications equipment in order to open our requirement to the broader industry. Lastly the Invisio communications system is waterproof and meets mission needs other communications systems fail to.
VI. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable.
We've reached out to multiple vendors for quote, the product is offered by multiple vendors and we have no
