This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition by the 140th OSS (Operations Squadron) for Land Mobile Radios. The procurement involves 6 APX-N50 UHF portable radios with specific configuration requirements, including UHF frequency band operation (380-522 MHz), link layer authentication, digital encryption, and a 1-year warranty. Additional equipment includes 6 units of Over-the-Air Programming (OTAP) via ASTRO*25 Core, 1 multi-unit smart battery charger, and 6 windporting remote speaker microphones.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on the 140th Operations Group's need to seamlessly integrate with the 460th Space Wing's existing Motorola LMR network. The Motorola APX-N50 radio is deemed the only compatible solution to avoid communication breakdowns, security risks, and increased costs. While full competition is not feasible, the contracting officer will seek quotes from multiple vendors to ensure best value. The document indicates proactive steps to identify emerging technologies and potential alternative sources in future procurements, with a planned contract date of 26-Aug-2025.
