Determination & Findings (Sole Source Justification)

This document justifies the solicitation of a single source for a modular and portable unit used for recording RF transmission, BER testing, and data simulation to troubleshoot telemetry signals. The specific item is a Quasonix Bit Error Rate Tester (QBERT), 4-channel, 10.4" touch screen, 0-50Mbps, P/N: QBERT4, Quantity 1.

• The requirement is strictly limited to the Quasonix brand name to ensure integration with the existing mission control room architecture, which serves as the established baseline engineering standard for the 412th Range Squadron.

• Procuring this specific brand is critical for maintaining strict configuration control and long-term supportability across the Test Wing enterprise.

• The Quasonix QBERT has been designed, specified, and engineered for seamless integration into the existing technical environment and has been vetted for integration into a highly complex system operating in a sensitive security environment.

• Integrating other brand options is technically impracticable and would introduce unacceptable system instability, jeopardize the baseline configuration, and fail to address diminishing manufacturing sources or end-of-life conditions.

• Market research indicates Quasonix is the sole manufacturer and intellectual property owner of the QBERT system.

• While Quasonix is the sole manufacturer, two authorized resellers (both small businesses) can provide the equipment.

• Competition will be restricted to these two authorized distributors to satisfy the brand-name requirement.

• The justification is based on RFO 8.401 and GSAR 538.7104-3(a) (FSS Orders), RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name), RFO 12.102(a) (Commercial Products and Services), and/or RFO 13.101(b) (Noncommercial Products and Services), indicating that only one source is reasonably capable or available.

• 420 FLTS and AFTC/PZZG

• The proposed sole source or brand name action is justified under the applicable regulation.
