Single Source Signed_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for an X-Band Kit procurement by the Air Force. The X-Band Kit is an add-on to the Panther II VSAT system, manufactured exclusively by L3 Harris Corporation for the 820 BDG. Multiple competitive efforts were conducted to maximize competition, but ultimately only L3 Harris can provide the required product, leading to a single-source justification.

The procurement involves the 23 CONS contracting activity, with an estimated contract cost that is redacted. Efforts to obtain competition included internet searches, sources sought postings on SAM.GOV, direct contact with L3 Harris about small business distributors, and a GSA sources sought (RFQ1761972), all of which yielded no alternative vendors. Moody AFB plans to post an award synopsis to make known the lack of market competition, with the contracting officer determining on 22-Aug-2025 that a single source is reasonably available under FAR guidelines.
