Or

FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) and 8.405-6(b)(1)Brand Name FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A) Urgency FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) Only One Source is Capable FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) Logical Follow-on

5. Reasons for Authority Cited: Motorola Solutions is the only reasonable source to provide the required supplies and services, because only Motorola equipment and software are compatible with the current equipment Osan AB has now. This brand will meet the Government's needs, because Motorola is used throughout other agencies in Osan AB including Security Forces. All current radio and dispatch systems/ software we use are from Motorola such as, Motorola ASTRO XMIT Vehicle Mounted Radios, Motorola XTS 5000R Hand Held Radios, and Motorola APX 6500 O5 Repeater System. The detrimental effects to the mission if we use any other brand besides Motorola would be financial, as we would have to increase costs on converting all current equipment and software to a new brand, throughout Osan AB.
