Notice of Intent to Sole Source: L3H - Kineto Tracking Mount (KTM) Main Power Reels
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The Department of the Air Force, through the United States Space Force’s 30th Contracting Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base, intends to issue a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to L3Harris for two Kineto Tracking Mount (KTM) main power reels in support of the 2nd Range Operations Squadron. The work is for replacement power reels needed as a critical spare, with the justification citing a failing unit that creates a safety hazard and the need to maintain operational readiness. L3Harris is identified as the original equipment manufacturer and sole design authority, with the equipment described as proprietary and the government lacking the technical data needed to compete the requirement; any challenge must show a form, fit, and function equivalent without reverse engineering or unacceptable mission delays.
