STARCOM - Limited Competition Justification - KO Signed Print_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a sole-source contract with Motorola Solutions Inc. for the National Guard Bureau. The requirement is to provide network access to STARCOM21 and 4 bands designated for communication across the Illinois coverage area for 24 existing radios, specifically supporting the 5th Weapon of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team (WMD CST) in Illinois.

The contract is a new firm fixed-price procurement valued under a classified estimated price, with funding from MILCON, Army. Market research confirmed that no other carrier (including AT&T and Verizon) can provide the required statewide communication capabilities for this specialized military network. The procurement is being conducted under 10 USC 3204(a)(1), citing only one responsible source, and the previous contract (W91SMC-23-P-0006) was also a sole-source award on August 17, 2023. The document indicates the synopsis was posted on SAM.gov for 15 days, with no expected competition due to the unique nature of the requirement.
