This is a Justification Review Document from the National Guard Bureau for a sole source acquisition of wireless communication kits from Invisio CR. The contracting activity is the 141st Maintenance Support Company, with the requiring activity identified as 111th Combat Response Support (CRS). The contract action is a new firm fixed-price contract funded under Operations & Maintenance (O&M) for the Air Force, with an estimated price that has been redacted.

The justification documents that Invisio CR communication equipment is mission-essential and the only known system meeting the unit's specialized requirements for standardization, security, and digital integration during joint operations. The equipment must support plug-and-play integration with the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK), provide 400 to 1,000 meters of coverage with radio frequency capability, offer advanced noise reduction and digital voice detection for high-noise environments, and maintain 100% interoperability with current standard CR tactical communications suites while mitigating Electronic Warfare Operations vulnerabilities. Market research confirmed no other system provides this decentralized, radio-less communications capability while maintaining full interoperability. The justification was prepared by the contracting officer MSgt Robert Jones on June 1, 2026, and approved by the Chief of the Contracting Office and the Contracting Officer on June 2, 2026, pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 1901 or 1903 as implemented in FAR 13.501(a) for simplified procedures on certain commercial items.
