Limited Competition Justification_REDACTED_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document and Memorandum for Record from the National Guard Bureau authorizing a single-source procurement for a VIAVI Solutions ALT-9000 Radar Altimeter Test Kit with an estimated price of $51,942.00. The procurement is conducted under the authority of 41 USC 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for solicitation from a single source. The contracting activity is USPFO CA with the requiring activity being SAAO (Soldier Sustainment Analysis Operations). The contract will be a new firm fixed-price contract funded through O&M, Army.

The requirement specifies that all Electronic Flight Instrument Systems-equipped forward aircraft must have an operational Standby Attitude Indicator or Electronic Standby Instrument System for flight operations dispatch. The VIAVI ALT-9000 is identified as the only system meeting all requirements, as it is the most accurate and comprehensive portable, all-digital radio altimeter flight line test set for military helicopters, including the UH-60 Black Hawk with Honeywell AN/APN-209 pulse radar altimeters. The system replaces the ALT-8000 currently in use and is the only alternative that meets all requirements to ensure proper altimeter readings and avoid mid-air collisions. This has not been previously procured. Technical Representative Lawrence Johnson (SAAO Logistics Management Supervisor) and Contracting Officer Manuel A. Jimenez have certified the justification and supporting data as accurate and complete.
