- 2PARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCL HEADQUARTERS ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS CENTER (AFMC) CRYPTOLOGIC SYSTEMS DIVISION SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 78243-7081 MEMORANDUM FOR ESC/HNCK FROM: ESC/HNCBI 230 Hall Blvd Ste 218 San Antonio TX 78243-7081 31 May 12 SUBJECT: JUSTIFICATION for OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION - (Under SAT) lAW FAR 6.302. The United States Air Force Tactical Terminals Section (ESC/HNCBI) requests the purchase of 100 each SmartSat Bias-Tees, using other than full and open competition procedures. The proposed action will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order. Subject requirement is for the procurement for the following items manufactured by SmartSat (CAGE Code 04MW5): Qty 100 ea PIN SS-BT622-200-T/T Nomenclature Bias-Tee (22VDC Bias-Tee with TNC input/output) The total estimated value for the purchase order will be $84,000.00. The Bias-Tee units are considered commercial items as defined by FAR 2.10 1. This item is either a commercial item or an item that consists of a small alteration to its commercial counterparts that do not significantly alter the non-governmental function or essential physical characteristics of the item. 2. ESC/HNCBI is currently in the process of upgrading an existing terminal system to the new Air Force Tactical Receiver System-V2 (AFTRS-V2) system. This conversion will greatly reduce the amount of equipment needed for tield units to perform their mission. The BiasTee is an integral part of this system upgrade. The Bias-Tee unit will be used in the AFTRS-V2 Deployable Kit, an improved system for deployed units to receive critical intelligence information. Each system requires one BiasTee unit to power the Dual Channel RF Amplifier, which in turn is needed to amplify the IBS signals for reception by the USB ENTR. These units meet all required specification and operating parameters for the AFTRS-V2 mission requirement. The Bias-Tee unit is manufactured by SmartSat (Cage Code 04MW5) specifically for the AFTRS-V2. The units will be requested to be delivered as soon as available. 3. Market research was conducted for comparable diplexers. Based on the results of the market research, SmartSat is the only company that produces a Bias-Tee unit that will accommodate the AFTRS-V2 Tactical Command System requirements in the time required to be ready for the fielding of the systems. 4. If purchase requirements increase and/or purchasing the SS-BT622-200-T/T becomes economically unfeasible, a request to other developers/manufactures to offer a product that meets the program office's technical requirements will be issued. Price analysis and subsequent negotiations with the contractor will be accomplished by the Contracting Officer to ensure that the final price of the contract is fair and reasonable and in accordance with guidance contained in the FAR. As evidenced by their signatures below, the technical and/or requirements personnel have certified that any supporting data contained herein, which is their responsibility, is both accurate and complete in accordance with FAR 6.303-2(b).
