Sole Source Justification - FLW WIFI Bldg 1703_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a Limited Source Procurement issued by the Department of the Air Force, Air Education and Training Command for the 368th Training Squadron at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The 368 TRS is acquiring 460 Apple iPad Pro tablets and ancillary support equipment to support Apprentice and Supplemental courses, enabling student-centered learning across 4 different career fields. The sole source provider is Boingo Wireless, Inc., which will provide Commercial Internet Service (C-ISP) for technical training, with specific requirements including maintaining physical and logical separation from DISN/AFNET, denying access to prohibited sites, and configuring wireless technologies to Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) encryption.

Boingo Wireless was selected based on their existing infrastructure in barracks and dormitories at Fort Leonard Wood Army Post, with the ability to offer wireless networks meeting the 368 TRS's specific faculty admin control and agile adaptability needs. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302 statutory authority, with Boingo being the only vendor capable of supplying wireless commercial internet service using their existing infrastructure. The contract includes service for internet access to Building 1703 and is part of the unit's effort to incorporate interactive training tools and support current training standards across multiple technical training environments.
