This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for procuring two XHF-1000 expeditionary HF vertical antennas with base and mast system for FY25. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RIKO) requires these highly specialized antennas for a summer FY25 demonstration, with Sabre Systems, LLC identified as the sole source provider after a thorough market survey. The justification is based on the antenna's unique combination of critical performance parameters, including a rapid 60-minute maximum deployment time, compact and lightweight design (156 pounds), and validated performance benchmarks.

The procurement is for Purchase Request F4HBL15104A001 / FA875125Q0091, with Sabre Systems being the only vendor manufacturing this specific HF antenna type. A Notice of Proposed Contract Action was posted on sam.gov from 21 Apr to 6 May with no responses. The Contracting Officer determined on 07-May-2025 that the circumstances warrant a single source procurement, noting that no other known vendor offers a comparable system that meets all of the program's critical requirements. The document emphasizes continued consideration of alternative systems for future acquisitions should another company develop a matching solution.
