This is a Single Source Justification form for a simplified acquisition from the 99th Contracting Squadron for the purchase of a BATS-D Radio system. The document justifies sole-source procurement from L3Harris Technologies for one BATS-D (PRC-161) handheld radio and peripherals for the 556 Test and Evaluation Squadron (556 TES).

The justification explains that the BATS-D radio is required to connect to the Link 16 system for fighter jet training exercises, allowing personnel to track live locations of friends and foes during exercises. The radio is NSA-certified and cryptographic modernization compliant. The procurement will be conducted as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 334220 and FSC 5985. The document includes a determination by the Contracting Officer that only a single source is reasonably available, citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Future market research will be conducted to identify potential alternative manufacturers that meet AFI and DoDI standards/requirements for similar needs.
