Attachment 2_single_source_justification_Glenair_redacted.pdf

This Single Source Justification document details a simplified acquisition for the Glenair STAR-PAN™ data hub and power distribution system for military use. The procurement is for the 763rd ESS/PKS contracting activity, specifically for the Glenair NG Hub and Cabling project, with a focus on providing specialized equipment for Special Operation Forces. The Glenair STAR-PAN™ system enables soldiers to optimize C4ISR technology performance, offering improved situational awareness, surveillance, intelligence, and reconnaissance capabilities, and is exclusively equipped with NATO-standard Mighty Mouse QDC connectors and cables.

The document justifies the single-source procurement from Glenair, Inc. by highlighting that their equipment is superior to the current Black Diamond kits, which are being phased out. The Glenair STAR-PAN hub meets NATO and U.S. military standards, with extremely durable cabling and embedded TACP capabilities. The contracting officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available, with the procurement planned for 09-Apr-2025. Glenair currently does not have authorized re-sellers but will continue monitoring the market for potential future alternatives.
