SIRIUS Data System Components FA930226Q0104 of DF_Redacted.pdf

This is a Determination & Findings document for a single-source acquisition justification submitted by the Air Force Technical Center (AFTC/PZZF). The contracting activity is acquiring Dewesoft Sirius Data Acquisition System components, specifically hardware models SIRIUSI-XHS-4xHV-4xLV, SIRIUS-SBOXe, and associated upgrades/plugins to support the Bomber Data Lab.

The sole-source justification is based on the brand name rationale under RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii), as the document determines that the Dewesoft brand is essential to the Government's requirements to ensure compatibility and integration with existing Sirius equipment already in use at the facility. Market research identified only two small businesses capable of providing this specific equipment: Dewesoft, LLC (CAGE Code: 6QTJ8) as the manufacturer, and Technical Communities, Inc. (CAGE Code: 1RPN6) as a reseller. The findings conclude that acquiring the same or similar brand-name equipment is critical to maintaining current fit, form, and function of established telemetry infrastructure and meeting mission schedules. The determination was approved by Contracting Officer Christina M. Day (NH-03, DAF), who is the approval authority for this action under DAF Approval Authorities Matrix PM 26-C-11 and applicable GSAR regulations.
