This document is a Sole Source Justification for a federal contract opportunity involving ORION Systems Incorporated's equipment and software. The justification highlights that ORION Systems holds proprietary ownership of their equipment and software, with no authorized third-party servicers, which necessitates a sole source procurement approach. Market research conducted indicated that alternative equipment purchases would result in higher costs.

The associated federal contract opportunity is Solicitation Number FA481925C0008 for WETSTONE Range Communication systems maintenance, operation, and help-desk support. The contract is awarded to an unspecified vendor by the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, with an award date of February 28, 2025. The sole source justification is based on the unique and proprietary nature of ORION Systems' technology, which prevents competitive bidding and requires direct procurement from the manufacturer.
