Attachment 3 - FY26 Starlink Brand Name Justification - FLW.pdf

This is a Single Source/Brand Name Justification Form for a simplified acquisition under $250,000 for Starlink WIFI service at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

The 782 TRG/368 TRS detachment requires continued Starlink WIFI subscription service for multiple buildings and hardware for new locations. The justification asserts that market research confirmed Starlink is the only satellite internet service meeting the detachment's mission-critical requirements for high-speed, low-latency connectivity in the remote Fort Leonard Wood area. While multiple authorized Starlink distributors can provide the service, the justification claims no true substitutes exist that satisfy the same operational requirements. The specific goods include continued Starlink WIFI subscriptions (accounts B12400, B12423, B663, B881, B5253, B5259, B12401, B2408, B12409, and B5254) for service-only renewal, plus new Starlink WIFI service, delivery, and hardware for Buildings 3202 and 5400. The justification selected "Other" under FAR 6.302 circumstances, explaining that multiple vendors are capable of supplying Starlink service, thus full and adequate competition is expected. The Contracting Officer (Carri K. Dulaney) signed the justification on 20 February 2026, and the Section Chief approved the determination that only a Single Source/Brand Name acquisition is reasonably available in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
