Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: AFSC/PZABC

Project/Program Name: Radar Signal Simulator

Purchase Request/Identification Number: FD20301802611

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Buy Requirement for 2018

NSN: 6625-01-533-8403KR

PN: FT0100-6

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

Engineering has reviewed the SAW and associated documents and finds that the data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications for a competitive solicitation.

Sole Source to: HARRIS CORPORATION (91417)

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Several suppliers showed interest in this procurement but due to HARRIS CORPORATION owning the engineering data and being the only firm that has the data rights for this fielded design, we are exercising sole source contracting to the OEM.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

We are requesting support from HARRIS CORPORATION due to the fact that they own the data rights for the approved/fielded design for B-2 use. No other competitor has the data rights to replicate the design of this tester. In 2018, the USAF explored purchasing the data rights for this item and the sole source contractor (HARRIS CORPORATION) elected to not sell the data.

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.
