Project/Program Name: 99 CS L3Harris Encryption Software

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F3G3FA4234MW01

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The 99 Communications Squadron (CS) is requesting the purchase of [QTY.: 26] Over the Air Rekeying/Zeroizing Encryption Software. The part number for the product is # YRXL-PL5L. The 99 CS requests encrypted software to allow 26 owned radios to comply with modern encryption standards. The requested encrypted software is required for radios to transmit on the base network. The software will further allow the 99 CS to conduct mission specific training without interruption or delay in communications, as the functional radios will relay proper transmissions amongst military personnel.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

Air Rekeying/Zeroizing Encryption Software is a proprietary software owned by L3Harris as they are the manufacturer for the radios the software will be used on. Although L3Harris outsources physical assets to resellers, purchase requests for software must come directly from L3Harris and are not authorized for sale by resellers. The encrypted software will be sent directly from L3Harris across their secure file sharing system and will be uploaded to 26 radios owned by the 99 CS to comply with modern encryption security standards. This software is a requirement for any radio to transmit on the base network.
