About this file
This single source justification document outlines requirements for three sets of 20 wireless, multi-channel communication headsets to be procured on a sole source basis from Sonetics. The 140th Wing currently uses Sonetics headsets that need to remain interoperable. The estimated contract value is unspecified. Market research found Sonetics the only provider that meets the digital encryption, 1500 foot range, and F-16 adapter requirements. To avoid future sole source awards, the 140th Maintenance Group will consider technological advances and attrition-based replacements. The contracting officer determined sole sourcing reasonable on March 3rd, 2023, with secondary approval by Christopher T. Stephenson on April 25th, 2023.
The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number W50S6V23Q0012 from the Department of the Army Colorado Army National Guard for wireless headsets. It corresponds to the justified sole source procurement documented above.

| ProjectProgram Name: Wireless Multi-Channel Headsets |
| Estimated Contract Cost including Options: TBD |
| Provide a brief nontechnical description of the suppliesservices to be acquired: 3 Sets of 20 wireless, multi-channel, rechargable, communication headsets with communication hubs that are capable of connecting to F-16 communication ports via adapters with wireless distance connection of at least 1500 feet, digital encryption, no frequency license requirements, and no time delay. |
| Document efforts to obtain competition For example did market research identify any other companys that can provide your required product or service or was a sources sought synopsis issued by contracting to try to find another source: Market research suggests multiple companies produce headsets that meet mission requirements. In order to maintain interoperability with the current Sonetics headsets owned by the 140th Wing, Sonetics will be required to meet our current need and desired capabilities. |
| Provide a statement of actions to be taken by the requiring activity to preclude the necessity for future sole source acquisition of the same suppliesservices eg conducting a market survey to determine potential future sources: Future sole source acquisition of the wireless multi-channel communication headsets can be avoided by including future technological advancements, changing mission requirements, and attrition based replacement of legacy equipment. |
