Limited Sources J amd A Signed_Redacted.pdf

This Limited Sources Justification and Approval (J&A) document details a procurement for 6 satellite antennas by the 23rd Contracting Squadron at Moody Air Force Base. The antennas are required to provide full-duplex MUOS and legacy UHF SATCOM connectivity, compatible with various radio systems for tactical operational use. Specific technical requirements include a frequency range of 240-380 MHz, right-hand circular polarization, 50 ohm impedance, +12.0 dBic gain, weighing 6.5 lbs, and featuring a black matte finish.

The procurement will be a new order to L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. using the Multiple Award Schedule Program, with a firm-fixed price contract. Market research was conducted via GSA on January 14, 2025, where two vendors responded, but only one was verified as meeting the requirements. The J&A notes that the chosen antenna is unique because no other vendors could provide a duplexer with the specific technical specifications needed for vehicle mount and stationary deployment, justifying the limited source selection under FAR 8.405-6 guidelines.
