Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition by the 90th Contracting Squadron for the SensorOps SynDOJO project. The 90th Ground Combat Training Squadron (GCTS) is procuring the SensorOps SynDOJO synthetic training platform to support immediate stand-up and execution of the unit's Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) curriculum. The platform trains student operators in tactical Medium-Range Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) operations and provides simulator-based training on honing flight skills prior to operating unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs).

The procurement includes five line items: two SynDOJO Training Devices (Ravetex Solution SDJO-TD-CLTP), two annual SynDOJO Platform Bundle Licenses from SenorOps LLC, one Real World Addon Subscription from SenorOps LLC, one D-Link Gigabit 4-port TAA/NDAA Compliant network device (DSR-250V2), and one shipping line item. The justification establishes that SenorOps SynDOJO is the only platform meeting the 90 GCTS requirements due to unique capabilities including NDAA compliance and Blue UAS vetting under the Defense Innovation Unit framework, asymmetric threat emulation replicating combat-specific environments, and native integration with the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK). Competitive alternatives such as Zephyr Drone Simulator and DronoSim lack the required secure architecture and tactical integration. Efforts to obtain competition included a pre-solicitation notice on SAM.gov from June 24 to July 9, 2026, yielding three industry responses, and direct coordination identifying 22 authorized resellers. The Contracting Officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
