- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c) (1), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The Reference Number is F1M1G34121A001. The 628th Contracting Squadron, 101 E. Hill Blvd., Joint Base Charleston, intents to award a sole source contract for Harris AN/PRC-152A multiband radios. The 628th Contracting Squadron intends to make an award to Harris Corporation 1680 University Ave, Rochester, NY 14610. Market research was performed and information gathered in determining this company to be the only source for this requirement. In accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 5.207(c) (15) (ii), the proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(b) (ii). This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive proposals; however responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The justification for the sole source requirements as follows: In accordance with FAR 6.303-2: (1) Agency and Activity: 628 Contracting Squadron, Joint Base Charleston, SC (2) Nature of action being approved: Sole source acquisition. (3) The purpose of this acquisition is to provide the special operations division with Harris AN/PRC-152A multiband Radios. (4) Justification Rationale: IAW FAR 6.302-1(a) (2) One source is capable of providing the requirement due to the High Performance Waveform (HPW) being proprietary to Harris radios. (5) Demonstration of Unique Qualifications: HPW is a widely-utilized data messaging waveform that is critical to the Special Operations Division's mission accomplishment. The nessecary HPW software is proprietary to Harris radios. (6) Description of Solicitation Efforts: IAW FAR 5.102(a) (2), this notice will be posted on the Government-wide Point of Entry (FedBizOpps.gov), but retained in the contract file to document the rationale for a sole source award. (7) The contracting officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable based upon previous awards made for the same radios and comparison to similar products. (8) Description of market research: The required HPW software is proprietary to Harris radios. Harris Corporation does not make their products commercially available and only sell direct to government agencies. Extensive market research has been accomplished in order to confirm that no other sources have these radios available for purchase. (9) Other supporting facts: These radios are being used throughout all branches of the Department of Defense and can only be purchased directly through the Harris Corporation. (10) Interested Sources: Some other companies were found with similar products but none offered the required HPW software. (11) Actions to prevent barriers that may lead to restricted consideration in the future: The Government will continue to survey the market for other alternatives and to increase competition. (12) This justification is accurate and complete to the best of the contracting officer's knowledge and belief.
