Brand Name Justification - 91 SFS JLTV Lights and Sirens.pdf

This is a Determination & Findings (D&F) document authorizing a single-source procurement for the U.S. Air Force (USAF - 5 CONS).

The procurement involves the 91st Security Forces Group's request to acquire Whelen Lights and Sirens System for Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV) on a sole-source basis. The government has determined that only one source is reasonably capable of providing this product. Security Forces Enterprise has approved the use of the Whelen system for JLTV equipment installation, and it is currently the only authorized system permitted for installation into JLTVs. The Whelen system was previously submitted to LCMC for evaluation and was approved as the sole authorized system for JLTV applications. The justification for sole-source acquisition is authorized under RFO 8.401 and GSAR 538.7104-3(a) for FSS Orders, which permits procurement when circumstances indicate only one source can reasonably provide the required products. The determination was signed by Contracting Officer Nitra P. Latta on July 17, 2026, with approval authority delegated to the Contracting Officer per DAF Approval Authorities Matrix PM 26-C-11.
