Attachment 2 - Sole Source Justification for a Ground Penetrating Radar System - Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification for a Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) system, prepared by the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB. The document justifies a sole source procurement from Hexagon US Federal for a Chase XR GPR system to replace an aging unit that has reached end of life. The system is required for critical operations including underground infrastructure mapping, detection of unexploded ordnance, and surface feature mapping across multiple mission sets such as infrastructure assessment, construction inspection, civil engineering, and environmental projects.

The justification highlights Hexagon US Federal's unique qualifications, including patented Equalized Scrambled Technology for signal noise reduction, flexible configuration options, advanced data management capabilities, and comprehensive training and technical support. The Air Force conducted market research using internet searches, industry days, and direct vendor consultations, concluding that Hexagon US Federal is the only vendor capable of meeting the government's specific technical requirements. The procurement will be conducted under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) authority for "Only One Responsible Source", with the contracting activity being USAF AFLCMC/PZICC and the anticipated contract approval date of 02 Jun 2025.
