MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Only One Source Available (Including the use of brand-name descriptions)

Authority to Pursue One Source:

☒ RFO 12.102(a) ☐ RFO 538.7104-3(a) ☐ RFO 16.507-6(d)(1)

Authority to Restrict Competition to One Brand-Name:

☐ RFO 12.102(a) ☐ RFO 538.7104-4(b) ☐ RFO 16.507-7(b)

1. For acquisitions valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), document the decision that only one source (Including the use of brand-name descriptions) is available and the basis for the decision.

2. Basis for Decision:

Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) is the only contractor capable of fulfilling this requirement. Because SAIC is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and retains exclusive proprietary rights to the Joint Range Extension (JRE) software, technical designs, and fabrication drawings, no other source can legally or technically produce, modify, or provide depot-level support for this system. Attempting to utilize an alternative "equal" product would break military interoperability, void critical support lifelines, and introduce unacceptable mission-failure risks to the warfighter.

3. Point of contact for this memorandum is: TSgt Lawrence J. Scroggins at lawrence.scroggins@us.af.mil or 850-283-8512
