Single Source Justification Smart Shooter_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition issued by the U.S. Air Force USAFE-AFRICA command. The contracting activity is 31 CONS/PKBY, and the project is designated as "Smart Shooter." The acquisition seeks the purchase of ten (10) Smart Shooter SMASH 2000L Fire Control Units.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on the SmartShooter system's unique technological capabilities and security approvals. The SmartShooter FCS has been field-tested and approved for use by USAFE/AFFRICA/A4S and is currently the only system implementing SmartShooter technology within USAFE. SmartShooter Precise Technological Solutions is identified as the sole company capable of providing kinetic Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems of this kind, and the system holds the only C-sUAS approval for Air Force Security Forces personnel under IAW DAFMAN31-131V2. Market research via Internet and previous vendor surveys confirmed no competing companies manufacture an equivalent system or the Air Force-approved M4A1 rifle attachment variant. The Contracting Officer, Gualtiero Casadio (Civ), determined on 14-May-2026 that circumstances support single-source procurement under RFO 12.102(a). The document indicates efforts to monitor future market conditions for potential competition and commits to soliciting new sources should barriers to competition be removed.
