SSJ PAN TILT CAMERA SYSTEM REDACTED VOL 1_Redacted.pdf

This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI document), dated March 2026, for a sole-source acquisition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).

The acquisition seeks to procure fourteen (14) Quickset MPT-50 NCR 129MM EO-HD IP Video Pan/Tilt systems with associated integrated components for the 420th Combined Test Force (CTF) at AFTC. The systems are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment designed for heavy-duty, high-precision positioning to support Telemetry and Test mission operations, serving as critical data acquisition and monitoring nodes integrated into the Telemetry network infrastructure. The estimated value is redacted, with a required delivery of 15 weeks after receipt of order (ARO). Required items include the pan/tilt system (part number MPT-50 NCR 129MM HD-IP-2-JA-V0129H-001-MWS) in quantity 14, customized power supply with Ethernet switch (7-08982) in quantity 14, customized electronics interface rack (7-08983) in quantity 1, base cables (CC46736-10) in quantity 14, control joystick (CTM-000074) in quantity 2, and a non-recurring engineering fee.

The justification establishes that Quickset Defense Technologies LLC is the only responsible source capable of meeting requirements without unacceptable mission delays or cost duplication. The rationale cites interoperability requirements with the CTF's exclusive Quickset pan/tilt system baseline, compliance with Next Generation Data Acquisition and Telemetry System (NGDATS) Authority to Operate (ATO), and substantial additional costs and 12-month mission delays associated with integrating alternative systems such as SIDUS Solutions equipment. The document references a detailed Market Research Report dated April 30, 2026, and notes that future acquisitions will be preceded by Requests for Information or Sources Sought notices to determine if competition becomes feasible.
