This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract award by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center/Production, Requirement and Sustainment Integrated Team (AFLCMC/PZITB).

The government requires FieldFox N9913C Test Equipment to support maintenance operations on NAVAIDS equipment, including localizer, glideslope, and TACAN systems. The FieldFox N9913C is a rugged, portable testing device that supports transmission interface testing and performance diagnostics for Air Traffic Control communications and NAVAIDS systems. The equipment features a touchscreen display with 6-8 hours of operational battery life, can save and export data meeting NIST-traceability and USAF calibration standards, and includes vendor support. The equipment tests network infrastructure capabilities including Ethernet and IP systems considered essential for future RAWS (Remote Air Weather Station) equipment. The estimated contract cost is redacted from the document. The Purchase Request/Local ID Number is F4FTAN6065AW01 under contracting activity AFLCMC/PZITB for the FieldFox N9913C Test Equipment project/program.

Keysight Technologies is identified as the sole source capable of meeting the government's requirements because their product ensures compatibility with existing RAWS systems, meets stringent technical standards, and supports mission-critical maintenance and troubleshooting requirements. The government conducted market research via vendor outreach and subject matter experts but found no equivalent vendors meeting the strict technical standards and maintenance requirements. The contracting officer determined on March 27, 2026, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available. A pre-award synopsis will be posted to SAM.gov announcing the sole source contract intent.
