Notice of Intent to Sole Source-Kratos quantumEdge Serial to IP Conversion Devices

The Defense Logistics Agency Distribution (DLA Distribution) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract to Kratos RT Logic Inc. for quantumEdge serial to IP conversion devices. The notice, with solicitation number SP3300-25-Q-0169, was posted on April 24, 2025, and pertains to communication equipment within the Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing NAICS category. The agency seeks these specialized devices for DLA Distribution San Joaquin, utilizing procurement authority that allows contracting from a single source when only one supplier is reasonably available. The notice is classified under Product Service Code 5895 for Miscellaneous Communication Equipment and covers a contract performance period of 180 days after receipt of order.

Contractors interested in this opportunity may submit their capabilities or interest in responding to the solicitation, though the government retains full discretion on whether to compete the acquisition. The primary objective is to procure Kratos quantumEdge devices capable of performing serial-to-IP and IP-to-serial conversion for specific operational requirements. Potential respondents should note the response deadline of May 2, 2025, and understand that while they can express interest, the sole source determination may remain unchanged. The contract appears targeted specifically at meeting DLA Distribution's technical communication equipment needs, with a focused acquisition strategy that prioritizes the unique capabilities of Kratos RT Logic Inc. Eligible contractors should carefully review the full solicitation details and be prepared to demonstrate any alternative capabilities that might challenge the sole source justification, though such challenges are not guaranteed to result in competition.
