Attachment 1 - Justification and Approval (Redacted).pdf

This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification for a federal procurement action by the 90th Contracting Squadron at F.E. Warren Air Force Base. The procurement involves acquiring 17 sets of KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) extenders from Rose Electronics for the NetLink Systems in Launch Control Centers (LCC) across Missile Alert Facilities. The specific products are Rose Electronics' Orion XTender Transmitter Unit (Part Number OT2-SLDFMUS1V/1ASP) and Orion XTender Receiver Unit (Part Number OR2-SRDFMUS1V/1ASP).

The justification emphasizes the critical nature of these KVM extenders for maintaining uninterrupted command and control capabilities in missile defense infrastructure. Rose Electronics is the sole vendor with KVM extenders listed on the Air Force Global Strike Command's "Approved Electric Power Device List" that meet stringent nuclear deterrence mission requirements. The procurement is valued at less than $750,000, with delivery and installation planned within four weeks of contract award. A Sources Sought notice was posted on April 21, 2025, and market research confirmed no other vendors could meet the specific Air Force requirements without significant delays.
