B.08 Brand Name J&A-SATCOM Radios 25QA020.pdf

This Justification Review Document from the National Guard Bureau is for a sole-source procurement of SATCOM Radios. The requirement includes one (1) L3 Harris PRC-167 Radio and an option for two (2) L3 Harris Contingency Communication Kits (CCK). The estimated price is redacted, and the contract will be a new firm fixed-price acquisition for O&M Air funding. Market research confirmed L3 Harris is the only manufacturer meeting the specific requirements, including dual-channel software for satellite, line of sight, TSM-X, ANW2 Waveform, and Type 1 encryption certified by NSA. The procurement will be solicited via SAM.gov as a small business set-aside using a combined synopsis/solicitation, with expectations of receiving quotes from multiple small businesses. Ongoing market research will continue to explore potential for multiple brands, though current research indicates the PRC-167 radios are uniquely specified for SOCOM use and not widely available through standard procurement channels.
