Brand name justification 18 MUNS Control Radio Upgrade_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 18 MUNS Control Radio Upgrade project at Kadena Air Base. The procurement involves acquiring a Motorola MCD5000 Deskset System and associated equipment, including licenses, documentation, radio gateway units, device installation, switches, antennas, cables, and power splitters. The total procurement encompasses 31 line items of networking and communication infrastructure components.

The justification for sole-source procurement centers on the MCD5000 system's exclusive interoperability with the existing Motorola APX radio infrastructure at Kadena Air Base. The 18 MUNS unit requires this specific system to ensure secure, mission-critical communication with uninterrupted voice communications, remote control capabilities, and redundancy. The document indicates that changing vendors would necessitate a complete communication platform overhaul, resulting in significant delays and increased costs. The contracting officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available, with a planned acquisition date of 24-Jul-2025 and plans to conduct future market research to identify alternative vendors.
