    The 99th Contracting Squadron seeks to procure 26 units of proprietary Over the Air Rekeying/Zeroizing Encryption Software from L3Harris for their radios. The software is essential for ensuring that these radios comply with contemporary encryption security standards necessary for base network communication. Due to its proprietary nature, the software can only be acquired directly from L3Harris, as it is not available through other resellers. A notice of intent will be published to establish transparency in this single-source procurement. Future purchases will involve market research to explore alternative manufacturers and ensure compliance with Air Force standards, aiming to enhance competition and avoid reliance on single-source providers. The Contracting Officer, Agatha Keith Morrison, GS-12, DAF, confirms that no other reasonable sources are available for this specific software requirement. This document showcases the government's effort to balance operational requirements with regulatory compliance in federal procurement processes.
