Synopsis:

This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only.

The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting (AFTC/PZZG), Edwards AFB, CA intends to issue a sole source contract to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. located at 2400 Palm Bay RD NE, Palm Bay, Florida, 32905-3377, United States, for Antenna Equipment & Installation Services. The contract will be executed by means of other than full and open competition, due to the main equipment to be installed having been purchased already from L3Harris.

In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows:

The HF antenna and radio to be installed were previously purchased from L3Harris. The original purchase was made from L3Harris after L3Harris and two other vendors performed site surveys, and L3Harris was the only vendor of the three that could provide a radio which met all requirements.

L3Harris is an industry expert in the capabilities required to meet the mission needs of successful installation and checkout and follow-on customer service and maintenance. Since the equipment purchased was manufactured by and procured for L3Harris, L3Harris is best suited to install their own equipment and provide the accompanying parts needed for the remote-control capability.
