This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a sole-source award determination.

The Air Force Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota seeks to award a Fixed-Price (FFP) contract on a brand-name basis to procure the DZYNE Dronebuster Block 4 electronic attack system for the 91st Security Forces Group. The system is a man-portable, handheld counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) designed to detect, disrupt, and defeat commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) drone threats through radio frequency (RF) jamming and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) disruption. The procurement includes supply, delivery, and initial operator training. The contracting officer (SSgt Marta E. Lange, 5 CONS/PKB) initiated this justification on 11 June 2026, with technical and requirements personnel certification on 12 June 2026.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, asserting that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The rationale emphasizes that the DZYNE Dronebuster Block 4 is the standard-issue handheld counter-drone system used across the military and the only handheld electronic attack system officially authorized by the Department of War. The justification notes that procurement ensures seamless interoperability with existing base defense architectures and maintains standardization across Air Force Security Forces, eliminating duplicative training costs. Competition will be maximized at the distributor level through a "Brand Name" solicitation posted on SAM.gov among authorized distributors. The contracting officer is responsible for determining fair and reasonable pricing in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.4.
