DF Quasonix Units F1S0AY6202A004 Below SAT_Redacted.pdf

This is a Determination & Findings (D&F) document for a single-source procurement action by the Air Force Technical Center (AFTC) at Edwards Air Force Base, California.

The procurement involves the acquisition of Quasonix brand units, specifically a RDMS Rack Mount Receiver (Part # QSX-RDMS-3R1D-E1-111-00-14-CS-EQ) and an RXAN Rack Mount Receiver Analyzer (Part # QSX-RXAN-3R1D-A1-1111-SW). The contracting officer justifies this sole-source acquisition under RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name authority), determining that the particular brand name and product features are essential to the Government's requirements and that alternative products from other manufacturers do not meet the agency's needs or cannot be modified to meet minimum requirements. The Quasonix units are required to provide turnkey solutions meeting all performance requirements, including integration with existing instrumentation systems and compatibility with current telemetry infrastructure. These specific units have been previously purchased to maintain consistency of the legacy system on the flight line and all Consolidated Test Facilities (CTFs) supporting flight test activities at Edwards AFB. The contracting officer recommends procurement either directly from Quasonix, Inc., or from authorized resellers. The determination was signed by Terence D. Vickers, Contracting Officer, on August 8, 2026.
