FAAD Support 2026

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)" for the FAAD 2026 program. It outlines the rationale for soliciting a requirement from a single source rather than conducting a competitive procurement.

This document indicates that the government intends to award a contract on a sole-source basis. It details the specific supplies and services required, which involve on-site technical support for a "C2" system manufactured by Northrup Grumman. This support includes software updates, system checkouts, calibrations, and training for upcoming exercises. The justification emphasizes that only one company, which is the incumbent contractor, possesses the necessary expertise and exclusive access to the software and support required for this specialized system. The document also states that efforts were made to find other sources, but none were found to be capable of meeting the requirements. The Contracting Officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available. Bidders interested in this opportunity should note that it is being justified for sole-source award, and therefore, direct competition is not anticipated under this justification.
