About this opportunity
The 914th Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station Contracting Office issued a single-source justification on July 7, 2026, announcing intent to award to L3Harris for PRC-163 UHF handheld tactical radios and related installation equipment, with a comment period closing July 21, 2026. The contracting officer determined that L3Harris is the sole manufacturer of the PRC-163 radios meeting Air Force requirements, with no authorized distributors available. Market research confirmed that GSA Schedule contracts do not carry this equipment and that Air Force enterprise contracts for tactical radios include only LMR-classified systems; the PRC-163 is currently the only Air Force-approved handheld tactical radio satisfying stated operational needs. The acquisition covers purchase and delivery of four units. Contracting Officer Danielle Poole approved the determination on June 26, 2026, under FAR 12.102(a) for commercial products and services and applicable DAF approval authorities. Interested parties may submit comments during the fourteen-day notice period.
