Sole Source Justification - TTK - Signed 4.1_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Determination for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to procure a Tactical TSCM Kit from Research Electronics International (REI). The kit is a highly portable signals analysis system used to detect radio frequency (RF) transmitters, microphones, and illicit surveillance devices, with capabilities including a radio frequency spectrum analyzer, near-field detector, carrier current detector, and high gain audio amplifier. Market research confirmed that REI's Tactical TSCM (TTK) Kit is the only product meeting DTRA's specific technical requirements, with unique features such as seamless integration of multiple tools, industry-leading technology, and comprehensive detection capabilities.

The document details a thorough market research process, including a Request for Information (RFI) posted on SAM.gov that solicited responses from potential suppliers. Of the seven companies researched, only REI's product fully met the specified technical capabilities. The kit must operate within precise technical parameters, including spectrum analysis between 10kHz to 6GHz, electromagnetic field detection, and specific sensitivity ranges across various frequencies. The total estimated value of the requirement was redacted, but the contract was awarded to Research Electronics International, LLC for $103,150.00 on 2025-07-29, utilizing statutory authority under 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 13.501.
