JA For Other Than Full And Open Competition Redacted.pdf

This document is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source procurement valued under $10 million.

The 31st Contracting Squadron at Aviano Air Base, Italy is seeking to award a follow-on firm-fixed-price contract to Motorola Solutions Inc. for Field Service Technician services supporting the Aviano AB Enterprise Land Mobile Radio (ELMR) network. The contract covers a 12-month base period plus four one-year options. Services include on-site full-time support for operations and maintenance of the ELMR trunking infrastructure, including management and maintenance of trunking equipment, dispatch consoles, consolettes, UCM/KMF terminals, OTAR equipment, OTAP programming, and recording systems. The contractor must provide a Motorola-certified technician and comply with all Air Force policies, directives, and security requirements.

Motorola Solutions Inc. is justified as the sole source based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as it is the only responsible source holding the required qualifications, certifications, and proprietary data for ELMR system maintenance. The justification notes that the ELMR network is a proprietary Motorola system under DAF PMO management, and only Motorola-compatible radios can provide required functionality. A 2021 market research identified Motorola as the sole interested offeror. The document indicates that any alternative contractor would incur duplicative costs unrecoverable through competition. The pricing is considered fair and reasonable based on prior IGE analysis, acquisition history, and market comparison data. The Air Force commits to conducting future market research to identify potential barriers to competition and evaluate compatibility with the TacCom II IDIQ program office.
