Attachment 2 Redacted Brand Name Justification.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract award. The 502d Contracting Squadron is procuring the DroneShield Immediate Response Kit (LAK & FSH) as a sole-source acquisition to address small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) threats at military installations. The justification asserts that DroneShield is the only source uniquely capable of meeting the required capabilities because it integrates the required Tactical Awareness Kit (TAK), offers superior drone detection with a range up to 10 kilometers and default range exceeding 1 kilometer, and utilizes a proprietary AI-powered engine for drone identification that has been approved by SOCOM, CENTCOM, and AFGSC.

The document establishes that alternative companies offering similar RF detection solutions operate differently and require additional approvals to function in the RF spectrum, placing them at a disadvantage compared to DroneShield's longer engagement distance capabilities. The justification notes that DroneShield technology has been successfully utilized for security at major international events including the Commonwealth Games, Winter Olympics, and World Economic Forum. To preclude future single-source awards, the government committed to monitoring the market for alternative sources capable of meeting requirements. The supporting data has been certified as complete and accurate by appropriate management personnel. Purchase Request/Identification Number, Estimated Contract Cost, Date, and Technical Personnel information are redacted in the document.
