I. Agency and Contracting Activity (RFO 6.104-1(a)(1)):

Agency: AETC Contracting Activity: 97th Contracting Flight

II. Nature and/or description of the action being approved (RFO 6.104-1(a)(2)):

This document approves the award of a Purchase Order on a sole source basis to Disruptive Electronic Warfare Machines, LLC for threat-emulating RF emitters in support of the Program Action Directive 23-04 at Ebbing ANG for the 85th Fighter Group. This justification is made on an individual basis.

III. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs (RFO 6.104-1(a)(3)):

The 85 Fighter Group requires low-cost, low footprint emitter systems to enable high end training at Ebbing ANGB, AR as directed by Program Action Directive (PAD) 23-04. This PAD states "the USAF will fund Ebbing ANGB infrastructure to conduct US training exercise activities." This includes Agile Combat Employment (ACE) that requires effective employment in unfamiliar airspace that includes robust training threats. Additionally with PAD 23-04 the additional emitters will be used to support Large Force Employment Exercises to provide capstone training to other Formal Training Units. These requirements have the 85th FG seeking to procure a C-band, and X-band DART systems.

IV. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(4)):

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(5), Authorized or required by statute.

V. Rationale for Use of Authority (RFO 6.104-1(a)(5)):

RFO 6.103-5(C)(2): Sole-source awards under the SBIR or STTR programs for Phase III (see 15 U.S.C. 638(r)(4)) or Phase II, when directly following a competitively awarded initial Phase II award (see 15 U.S.C. 638(ff)) DEWM was previously awarded SBIR Phase III contracts for their DART X and C Band in 2025:

FA864925P0327 DART-X BAND RADAR TARGET

FA667525P0017 DART-C BAND RADAR TARGET

VI. Integrated Market Analysis and Efforts to Solicit Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(6), (8), and (10)):

Vendor outreach revealed the only other sources of this product are resellers, which would most likely result in unnecessary costs incurred on the government.

VII. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost (RFO 6.104-1(a)(7)):

The Contracting Officer is responsible for evaluating, determining, and documenting the anticipated contract cost/price is fair and reasonable in accordance with RFO Subpart 15.4, Contract Pricing.

VIII. Any Other Facts Supporting the Justification (RFO 6.104-1(a)(9)):

IX. Actions to Overcome Barriers to Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(11):
