Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 18 CONS

Project/Program Name: 18 LRS Communications

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required APX6000 VHF MHZ MODEL 2.5 PORTABLE AND PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE/SUPPLEMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. MULTI AND SINGLE UNIT CHARGERS. PUSH TO TALK DESK

TOP RADIO MICROPHONE.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

Motorola assets are required to be compatible with over 30 hand-held radios and their associated chargers/batteries within MSG. In addition, all outside agencies MSG communicates with via radio use Motorola equipment (Air Control Tower, Security Forces, Fire Department, etc...) Single source is required to ensure base station is compatible both with hardware and software with the current equipment. Motorola is the only vendor that can provide compatible radios per 18 CS.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

No efforts made, per 18 CS the only compatible base station for our current hardware and software is Motorola.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

Only possible steps would be to reinvest in the MSG radio inventory and supplemental equipment with another brand of hardware and software, which would then not be compatible with the all other Kadena Air Base units (Air Control Tower, Security Forces, Fire Department, etc...) that use Motorola hardware/software.

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.
