I.A.02 Limited Competition Justification_CDTF-L3_Radios_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a limited sources procurement by the National Guard Bureau for the L3 Harris Radio XL200P multi-band portable radio system and associated operational accessories (batteries, antennas, and chargers). The contracting activity is USPFO-NV, 152 MSG/MSC, with the Nevada National Guard (NVNG) Countering Task Force as the requiring activity. This is a new firm fixed-price contract funded through O&M, Army, with an estimated price that has been redacted.

The justification demonstrates that only L3 Harris can meet the requirement because the NVNG currently operates on an established L3 Harris communications architecture, and the XL200P radio possesses highly specialized proprietary integration capabilities that would natively communicate with existing fleet. Introducing alternative manufacturers would result in a fragmented communications architecture, increased training costs, duplicated accessory procurement, and potential mission failure due to interoperability delays. To maximize competition within the brand-name limitation, the Government will issue a Request for Quote to authorized L3 Harris distributors and resellers, with quotes posted to the System for Award Management (SAM). Market research has verified that XL200P radios and accessories are actively maintained on the GSA schedule and open market through multiple authorized vendors. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and the document was approved on May 21, 2026, with technical certification dated April 29, 2026.
