Single Source Justfication Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for an X-Band Kit procurement by the 23 CONS Contracting Activity. The X-Band Kit is an add-on to the Panther II VSAT system for the 820 BDG, specifically manufactured by L3 Harris Corporation, which enables seamless integration and operation with the L3 Harris VSAT System. The requirement is urgent and needs to be awarded by August 29, 2025, with internet searches revealing L3 Harris as the only vendor capable of providing the kit.

Efforts to obtain competition included posting sources sought on SAM.GOV, contacting L3 Harris to check for small business distributors, and submitting a GSA Sources sought (RFQ1761972), but no alternative vendors were identified. The Contracting Officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available, citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Moody AFB plans to post an award synopsis and single source justification to notify the market of the procurement and potentially encourage future competition for similar requirements.
