1. Notice of Intent
The Air National Guard, 180th Fighter Wing, intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a sole-source basis to L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

This action is being executed under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.

The government is procuring remote heads that seamlessly integrate and interface with the unit's existing communications ecosystem currently installed at the operator consoles.
4. Rationale for Sole Source
L3Harris equipment is already in place and integrated throughout workstations. Procuring remote heads from any other manufacturer would result in sever interoperability failures with the existing base station radios, necessitating a complete and cost-prohibitive overhaul of the Command Post's communications infrastructure. Consequently, L3Harris is the only responsible source reasonably available that can provide equipment capable of meeting the Government's minimum interoperability and TEMPEST and SIPR compliance requirements.
