This is a Justification Review Document for a sole-source procurement by the National Guard Bureau for C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aerial System) sustainment support.

The contracting activity is 165 MSC with the requiring activity as 165 SFS, classified as a new contract action with firm fixed-price terms and O&M Air funding. The requirement is for sustainment maintenance and software upgrades for the C-UAS system supporting domestic operations. The justification cites authority under 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), establishing that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The document states that HAF and NGB/A4S have determined the C-UAS system as the only viable option for domestic operations and identifies a single provider as capable of delivering the required sustainment and warranty support. Black River Systems is listed as an interested source. The contracting requirements note that while various C-UAS systems exist on the open market, the current system represents the established program of record, and as technology advances and more companies invest in these products, competition is expected to increase in the future. The document indicates no prior procurement history for this specific requirement. The Contracting Officer has certified that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable, and supporting data are accurate and complete.
