About this file
This is a Determination & Findings (D&F) document authorizing a single-source procurement for the 914th Missile Support Group/Contracting office (914th MSG/PK). The acquisition is for a Kenwood Radio to support the installation's Command Post Mass Notification System, with a contract value of $21,000.00. The contracting officer has determined that only one vendor source is reasonably capable of providing this specific radio because it is vendor-specific to the installation's Emergency Mass Notification System (EMNS). Replacing the radio with an alternative would fall outside system requirements and necessitate procurement and installation of an entirely new EMNS system, making the sole-source justification necessary.
The determination is authorized under RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) for brand-name acquisitions, where market research has confirmed that other companies' similar products or products lacking the particular features do not meet the agency's needs or cannot be modified to meet minimum requirements. The document cites relevant regulatory authorities including RFO 8.401, GSAR 538.7104-3(a), RFO 12.102(a), and RFO 13.101(b). The determination was approved and digitally signed by Danielle Poole, GS-12 Contracting Officer, on September 1, 2026, who holds the requisite signatory authority for this type of procurement action under the DAF Approval Authorities Matrix.
