About this file
This document contains a sole source justification for Wave Relay MPU5 radios to be procured through simplified acquisition procedures. The 644th Combat Communications Squadron requires Wave Relay radios to ensure interoperability when fulfilling joint missions with other units already using this equipment. While other radio systems can operate in similar frequency bands and utilize mobile ad hoc networking, only the MPU5 radios provide unique deployable network extension capabilities. The solicitation seeks these Wave Relay MPU5 radios with the identification number FA524023QM037 from the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces. Market monitoring will continue for alternative multi-band radios that could also meet network extension requirements.

644 CBCS routinely fulfills joint missions and taskers, supporting and working with joint partners. Wave Relay is needed because in the joint environment, other units are already using Wave Relay and the 644 CBCS needs to ensure the most integration with those units as much as possible. Using another radio would not allow for this integration, and would severely isolate and limit communication in the field between joint partners.

Market conditions will continue to be monitored in the event alternative multiband frequency radios arise that can provide peer to peer network extension capabilities no longer unique to MPU5 radio systems.
