TUCK-19_Single Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document details a contract for four (4) High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) solutions to establish a mobile Mission Planning Cell for Force Element (MGFE) deployments. The TUCK-19 Mobile Operations Center, developed by Rebel Systems with proprietary software integration by NextTech Solutions, is the only system meeting the specific requirements of the 87th Contracting Squadron. Key technical requirements include rugged design, internal battery power, 8 NIPRNet and 8 SIPRNet ports, integrated 5G cellular connectivity, and a small form factor crypto sled.

The document indicates that multiple market research efforts were conducted, including checks with AbilityOne, Unicor, and sources on GSA eBuy, SAM.gov, and NASA SEWP. An RFQ was initially issued as a 100% Small Business set-aside but was ultimately canceled. The contracting approach will pursue an unrestricted Brand Name requirement via the NASA SEWP contract vehicle. The justification emphasizes that no alternative systems provide the same integrated automated PACE failover functionality, and NextTech Solutions is expected to remain the primary source for this capability. The contract is set to be executed by September 15, 2025, with the aim of replacing legacy Executive Communications Kits before their January 2026 end of life.
