    The document outlines a Single Source Justification for the procurement of two Portable Navigational Aid Receivers (PNR) Model 7020 by the 374 OSS/OSAM for calibration and testing of the Yokota Air Base's Ground Radar Navigation System. The justification emphasizes the need for Thales' specialized PNR equipment, which is essential for the certification and maintenance of the GRN-29 Instrument Landing System. It highlights that without this proprietary tool, the Air Force cannot maintain safe air traffic operations. Market research indicates Thales is the sole supplier of such equipment, necessitating a single source procurement to mitigate risks and maintain operational standards. Efforts to explore future competition are underway, with considerations for sourcing similar equipment through the Air Force Logistics Supply System. The contracting officer supports this single-source determination under FAR guidelines, affirming no reasonable alternatives are available. This justification underlines the critical role of specialized equipment in ensuring operational readiness and safety in air traffic management.
