Attachment 2 - Brand Name JA-Redacted.pdf

This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI document) for a single-source acquisition.

The 5th Security Forces Squadron at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, is procuring the DZYNE Dronebuster Block 4 electronic attack system on a fixed-price contract basis under a brand name requirement. The acquisition involves supplying, delivering, and providing initial operator training for this man-portable, handheld Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) designed for base defense, security force mobility, and dismounted operations. The system detects, disrupts, and defeats commercial-off-the-shelf drone threats through radio frequency jamming and Global Navigation Satellite System disruption. The justification emphasizes that the DZYNE Dronebuster Block 4 is the only handheld electronic attack system officially authorized for use by the U.S. Department of War, ensuring approval for operational use and compliance with stringent military performance and safety standards. The procurement ensures seamless interoperability with existing base defense architectures and maintains standardization across Air Force Security Forces, eliminating costly and time-consuming training on alternative systems. Although specified as a brand name requirement, competition will be maximized through DZYNE Technologies' network of authorized distributors, with the solicitation posted on SAM.gov to permit these authorized distributors to compete for the award. Competition will be sought at the distributor level to ensure fair and reasonable pricing. The authority for this other-than-full-and-open-competition procurement is RFO 12.201-1 Simplified Procedures under 41 U.S.C. 1901. The Contracting Officer is SSgt Marta E. Lange (5 CONS/PKB, 701-723-7674), with a certification date of 25 June 26.
