About this opportunity
The 145th Airlift Wing Contracting office, part of the North Carolina Army National Guard, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to L3Harris for specialized radio equipment. The procurement involves eighteen AN/PRC-160 SKYLIGHT/LDD field install units and seven USB to Ethernet cable assemblies for the 118th Air Support Operations Squadron (ASOS). This acquisition is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for soliciting from a single source, with L3Harris identified as the sole provider of the specific products bearing part numbers 12200-8418-01 and 12193-0396-A003. The agency has determined that competing this requirement on the open market would not be reasonable given L3Harris's unique position as the sole source supplier. No written solicitation will be issued for this procurement.
The purpose of this sole source acquisition is to obtain a Starlight HF Waveform digital license and associated equipment that operates at or below noise floor in short transmission bursts, specifically designed for Joint All Domain C2 operations in contested environments. Qualified sources must submit responses by September 29, 2025, via email to MSgt Sarah Marshall and Capt. Scott Thomas, with no telephone or fax inquiries accepted. L3Harris was selected because they are already fielded in the AN/PRC-160 HR Radio system and can provide the advanced short data burst waveform at a reduced cost. The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement funded through O&M Air resources. The government reserves the right to compete this procurement in the future if no compatibility issues arise, and any determination not to compete based on responses to this notice remains solely within the government's discretion.
