Sole Source Justification - Valor MK2 Systems_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document submitted by the 1st Special Operations Contracting Squadron/PKC for the Valor MK2 Systems project (Purchase Request F2QT046091A001).

The contracting activity seeks to procure four TSS Valor MK2 Hardware Systems with Rev 202603 software (including pre-installed GPSDO and related components with 115 VAC to 24 VDC converters), four configured operator laptops, and on-site software integration services requiring a minimum secret security clearance. The justification identifies Hydra Systems as the sole source, citing that Hydra is the original designer, developer, and original equipment manufacturer of the Valor hardware and software system. Hydra is identified as the only current producer of the product and the only entity capable of providing comprehensive on-site integration services, including high-side software and platform integration, calibration, testing, and user training. The document notes that market research determined Hydra Systems is the sole manufacturer and provider of the Valor MK2 Systems and applicable software integration. The contracting officer, TSgt Mathieu T. Osorio, USAF, made the determination on April 1, 2026, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available. Future market research will be conducted to determine if competitive options become available for subsequent acquisitions.
