Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

The Okinawa Transport Network (OTN) antenna systems are specifically designed to provide essential Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) communications. Loss of phone, computer, LMR or the USAF ACMI mission at Hill 450 would represent a substantial or unacceptable risk to human life, property and the United states government mission. Examples of essential communications would be: civil or national defense; emergency responder rescue or disaster operations; military and navigational facilities. The installed Andrews microwave antenna systems are specifically designed to meet the electrical and physical wind load and engineering criteria specified by the United States Army Information Systems Engineering Command (USAISEC). Existing Andrew microwave antenna failures will require replacement with Andrews specific OEM replacement parts. Antenna parts from other vendors would not be guaranteed to meet the design specification of Andrews specification materials. Additionally the Andrews antennas the United States government employs are approved by the host nation as indicated of the 1494 spectrum use document. The Japan Ministry of Information and communications has formally approved the Andrews antennas. Substitute antennas would require a lengthy approval process. The mission critical Okinawa antenna spares are needed as soon as possible.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Competition for substitute antenna materials is not applicable in this instance. The Andrews high performance parabolic microwave antennas are highly precise. They were specifically engineered for the Okinawa microwave links. Substitute materials will not work or may degrade the performance of the microwave links. The RFQ will be posted on FBO for specified particular brand-name item.

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

Engineering specifications are defined by the microwave systems engineers. Specifically engineered Andrews microwave system antenna materials will be required throughout the microwave system life cycle.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
