Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The L3 Harris STT KOR-24A has been identified as the necessary STT to fulfill this requirement in the 15AF and OSW/J7 Project Agreement, which is only available on JWICS. The Warfighter Lab Innovation Joint Staff utilized previous radios to ascertain viability. Those previous models failed the processing/bandwidth requirement or were deemed unable to track data to push it out in real time to the units/ war-fighters which impeded mission success. The L3 Harris STT KOR-24A STT meets all of the necessary requirements for the successful performance of the Angel Tiger program with the HH-60W.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The STT was identified after other radios readily available failed to perform during exercises representative of the required performance for the Angel Tiger project.
