This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a Slanted Polarized Omni Directional Antenna from 0.5-40GHz, issued by the 45 CONS/PKB contracting activity. The requirement is for a slant polarized omnidirectional antenna operating across a wide frequency range (0.5 -40 GHz), with vertical beamwidth of 360°, fitted with K-type and SMA connectors, and designed for long-term field deployment with radome protection. The specific model QOM-ST-0.5-40-KS-R was identified as the sole source, justified by its unique configuration supporting slant polarization with flat gain characteristics essential for operational effectiveness.

The procurement will be a 100% Small Business Set-Aside solicited via SAM.gov, with Mission Partner conducting market research and identifying Q-PAR Antennas USA as the vendor. A GSA Advantage search yielded no existing supply schedule results, and a Small Business Dynamic Search Tool identified three potential small businesses: JE Systems Inc, MTrix America Inc, and Plainville Electrical Products Company. The document indicates the antenna is part of a broader ELINT system architecture and requires integration with existing equipment and test protocols. The contracting officer, Cynthia Whittaker, has determined that a single source is reasonably available, with the procurement dated April 2021 and a future contract date of 28-Aug-2025.
