This Single Source Justification document details a procurement for mesh radio devices by the 22d Civil Engineering Squadron (22 CES). The requirement is for goTenna Deployment Kits to support emergency response communications, with the system providing faster and more accurate situational awareness during primary communication losses. Between July 2024 and July 2025, nine contracts from different DoD agencies have been issued for goTenna radios, totaling $18,744,349.00, with the Department of Air Force accounting for 81% of these acquisitions.

The document justifies goTenna as the single source vendor due to their unique UHF mesh radios purpose-built for secure communications in off-grid environments. Market research confirmed no other sources could meet the specific requirements, and a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov yielded only two responses. The Contracting Officer determined that goTenna is the sole provider, noting the vendor does not resell products to other companies and has demonstrated core capabilities aligned with military communication needs, including support for DHS/CBP and active federal performance history.
