RT-1797C Single JA - 29 May 2025_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification form for a simplified acquisition by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/HNCKA) for repair services of Receiver/Transmitter RT-1797C radios. The contract involves seven (7) Receiver/Transmitter RT-1797C items to be repaired by Collins Aerospace, Inc., the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), within 40 days after receipt of order. The NSN is 5821-01-476-3650CA, and the part number is 822-0878-002.

Collins Aerospace is justified as the sole source because the Air Force lacks complete technical data for the RT-1797C, and repair by any other company would void the equipment's certification. A Sources Sought/NOPCA was posted on SAM.gov from 6/18/25-6/25/25 with no responses received. The document indicates that for future requirements, the Program Office will make efforts to promote competition and monitor changes to the endorsement status, though currently no additional vendors are planned to be endorsed for this equipment.
