THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENT.

This hardware is being procured to revamp the current system with more capabilities and advanced equipment to satisfy commonality throughout the field. UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: The Parvus hardware has already been purchased in the past for the C130J and 144 aircraft and through TISCOM. This hardware has already been approved and tested through the CGOne certification and accreditation package that is required through TISCOM for all aircraft hardware that will be connected to CGOne. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: At this time TISCOM has required this hardware to be used for the system with respects to testing and certifications that have been set in place already. PARVUS hardware is being fielded by LMCO with the new pallets due to the end of life for the CISCO router which has become the direct replacement because it is the only hardware available can be configured to the system and meets all requirements. This hardware has been vulnerability scanned and configured to pass all the STIGs and C&A. EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE: The hardware has been purchased in the past through other CG sources for use on like systems and the development of these purchase requirements are stipulated by funding sources and contract procurement.
