Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

L3 Harris is the only manufacturer of the PRC-117G radio. It is a standard radio across DOD units and the equipment, infrastructure, and personnel training all currently support this single source item. The product itself is provided by a number of resellers, making the solicitation a brand name or equal rather than single source.

Market research has identified the manufacturer as well as a number of resellers during the market research phase and competition is anticipated on this requirement.

The radio communication office has not identified another compatible radio system but the Government will continue working with the radio office on future solutions.

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.
