Limited Competition Justification_Skylight HF Waveform Redacted.pdf

This Justification Review Document from the National Guard Bureau seeks a sole-source procurement of a Starlight HF Waveform digital license from L3Harris for the 118th ASOS (Air Support Operations Squadron). The requirement is to acquire a waveform that operates at or below noise floor in short transmission bursts, specifically targeted for Joint All Domain C2 operations in contested environments. L3Harris is being selected as the sole source because they are already fielded in the AN/PRC-160 HR Radio, can provide an advanced short data burst waveform at a reduced cost, and are considered the unique vendor for these specific technical requirements. The estimated total price is redacted, with the contract type noted as Firm Fixed Price under O&M Air funding. An intent to sole source will be posted to SAM.gov for 15 days, with the government reserving the right to compete the procurement in the future if no compatibility issues arise.
