    JustificationAndApproval.pdf
    This memorandum outlines the determination to procure specialized equipment for the 8th Communication Battalion, enabling secure destruction of Classified Material Information (CMI) and Solid State Devices (SSD) in compliance with updated standards. Under FAR Part 13, the contracting officer can solicit from a single source if justified, which in this case is necessitated by Data Security, Inc. being the sole manufacturer and distributor of the required equipment. The selected device is confirmed to meet all necessary specifications per NSA guidance and offers a reasonable cost relative to other options on the Evaluated Products List (EPL). The absence of competitive solicitation stems from exclusive licensing agreements, proprietary rights, and the unique capability of the device to fulfill the mission-critical requirement of ensuring secure destruction of classified materials in a timely manner. This acquisition reflects both urgency and the need for compliance with federal standards, thereby endorsing the decision to limit the procurement to a single source.
