Attch 04 - Brand Name Justification REDACTED.pdf

This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for a federal contract. The 628th Contracting Squadron at Joint Base Charleston is requesting procurement of four (4) L3 Harris AN/PRC-167 multi-channel manpack radio systems for the 437th Operations Group, Special Operations Squadron. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price and is justified as a brand-name procurement due to unique technical requirements. The radio system is the only solution that comprehensively fulfills operational needs, is currently certified by the National Security Agency (NSA) for secure operations, supports proprietary waveforms, and seamlessly integrates with C-17A aircraft radio chassis. The existing PRC-158v3 model radios are no longer supported, creating a critical need for replacement with this specific L3 Harris system, which is the sole manufacturer capable of meeting the technical, operational, and integration requirements.
