This is a Justification Review Document for a sole source contract procurement by the National Guard Bureau. The procurement is for a DART Threat Emitter, a low-cost threat emitter (LCTE) that delivers a raster type scan and emits RF energy within the C and S type bands. The contract action is a new Firm Fixed Price contract under the O&M, Air fund type, with the contracting activity identified as Savannah CRTC/ACTS (Electronic Warfare Range).

The justification for sole source procurement is based on 41 U.S.C. § 1901 under the explicit statutory authority of the Small Business Administration (SBA) SBIR/STTR Policy Directive and FAR 6.302-5. The document states that the SBIR Phase III program vendor is the only known LCTE that provides a raster scan within the C band at a specified range and the S band at a specified range. Competition requirements under the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) were satisfied through initial Phase II selection, waiving the need for traditional Justification and Approval (J&A) procedures. Market research and interested sources indicate only one vendor meets the requirement. The document confirms the anticipated cost to the government is Fair and Reasonable, and no posting requirements are applicable to this procurement.
