Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition

APPROVAL (AFFARS_j]_Q§.304(a) )

Date Competition Advocate

~~f, Contracting Division q ~f' I&

Updated. 15 Mar 16

I. Contracting Activity.

Department of the Air Force, Air Combat Command, SSth Contracting Squadron, Offutt AFB, NE Is the contra~ing organization responsible for the individual justification for other than full and open competition. The Procuring Contracting Officer is

II. Nature and/or description of the action being processed.

This Justification and Approval {J&A) authorizes the use of other than full and open competition procedures for the purchase of Motorola brand land mobile radios.

Ill. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs.

This requirement is for Motorola brand name Land Mobile Radios model APX 4000 and APX8000XE. These radios allow for FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Encryption, Over-the-Air-Programming and Over-the-Air-Re-keying, data enabled applications such as text messaging and GPS location, and compatibility with Motorola 7.X Smart Zone system.

IV. Statutory authority permitting Other than Full and Open Competition.

1oU.S.C.2304(c), as implemented by FAR 16.SOS(a)(4) and FAR 6.302-1 (c) Application for brand name descriptions.

V, Demonstration that the contractor's unique qualifications or nature of the acquisition requires the use of the authority cited above (applicability of authority).

FIPS Level 3 radios provide for the utmost security because unaccounted radios can be totally deactivated to ensure the encryption key that guards the security of the network cannot be compromised. No other manufacturer can provide Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 3 encryption, ensuring the most secure radio communication

Furthermore, radios are also used to communicate with local Public Safety Departments and will have to be compatible with their Motorola programming for interoperability. Contact with local Public Safety indicates their ability to program radios is restricted to Motorola.

VJ. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable.

This requirement will be procured through the NETCENTS-11 contract.

VII. Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

As the solicitation will be posted on NETCENTS-11, competition should be the leading factor for the fair and reasonable determination. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the final price after all quotes have been received to ensure it is In the best interest of the Government to proceed with the award.

VIII. Description of the market research conducted and the results, or a statement of the reasons market research was not conducted.

After extensive market research on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Computer Security Resource Center (http:/ /csrc.nist.gov/), no other land mobile radio manufacturers have been found that can meet the required specifications especi~lly in regards to the FIPS 140-2 Level 3 encryption. Only Motorola can meet this requirement. Level 3 encryption is ' essential to the Government's requirements and market research indicates other products do not meet or cannot be modified

Updated: 15 Mar 16 Page 3of4 to meet the agency's Level 3 encryption needs.

IX. Any other facts supporting the use of Other Than Full and Open Competition.

Land mobile radio system requirements and future compatibility to the Travis AFB Enterprise System supports the use of Other Than Full and Open Competition. Travis AFB Enterprise System compatibility Is guaranteed through Motorola.

X. List of sources, If any, that expressed Interest In the acquisition.

No vendors have reached out to the agency.

XI. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before making subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required.

At this point the only land mobile radios that can meet the Level 3 requirement and will be compatible on the Travis AFB's Enterprise System are Motorola.

XII. Certification by the Contracting Officer.

As evidenced by my signature above, I have determined this document to be both accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

XIII. Certification by the technical/requirements personnel.

As evidenced by my (our) signature(s) above, I (we) certify that any supporting data contained herein, which is my (our) responsibility, is both accurate and complete.
