About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a federal contract opportunity related to the procurement of analog and digital communications equipment test equipment for the United States Air Force.
The justification states that TEMPO Communications is the sole manufacturer of the specialized test equipment required to maintain the Air Force's existing analog and digital communications systems, which are expected to remain in use for at least the next 20 years. Due to the critical nature of this equipment for mission success, the Air Force has determined that TEMPO Communications is the only reasonably available source. The government will continue to monitor the market for potential competitive alternatives. The related federal contract opportunity is a combined synopsis/solicitation (Solicitation # FA442724Q0105) seeking quotes for the procurement of two TEMPO Communications DataScout 10G test units and associated cables under a firm-fixed price contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334515 - Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals, with a small business size standard of 750 employees. Quotes are due within 60 calendar days and will be evaluated on technical capability and price.

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)
CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION
April 2021 CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION Page 2 of 2April 2021 CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION Page 2 of 2
The requirement for maintaining analog and digital communications equipment will not be going away in the foreseeable future. Older technologies will remain in use by the Air Force for the next 20 plus years while new digital equipment is engineered and manufactured. Since TEMPO Communications is the single manufacture of the test equipment capable of meeting the needs of the Air Force, the need for a single brand test equipment item is critical to mission success.
The Government will continued to conduct market research to ascertain if there are changes in the marketplace that would enable future actions to be competed.
