Brand name justification 9 OSS CX300_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the 9th Operations Support Squadron (9 OSS) at Beale Air Force Base. The squadron seeks to acquire a Viavi CX300 ComXpert radio test system with multiple accessories to improve ground-to-air radio maintenance efficiency. The specific procurement includes one Viavi CX300 ComXpert with accessories such as a Cable and Antenna Analysis kit, Short Open Load Accessory, Checklist Configurator, Carrying Case, USAF CM300/350 Kit, Calibration Certificate, and a 5-Year Silver Care extended warranty.

The document justifies the single-source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b), highlighting that the Viavi CX300 ComXpert uniquely combines radio and network infrastructure testing capabilities. Previous attempts to find alternative sources through AFICC Launchpad, AbilityOne, UNICOR, and GSA Advantage were unsuccessful. The contracting officer determined that only one source (Viavi) is reasonably available, with the procurement aimed at replacing six existing components for General Electric VHF/UHF radio equipment. The total acquisition is planned for 06-Aug-2025, with steps outlined to prevent future sole-source acquisitions by monitoring emerging technologies in the radio testing market.
