This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition issued by the Department of the Air Force (PACAF/A4S and contracting activity 18 CONS/PKA). It approves the acquisition of 60 DroneBuster 5 handheld Counter-Small Unmanned East Aerial Systems (C-sUAS) with Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) denial capabilities on a brand-name basis. The estimated acquisition will be executed as a firm-fixed-price purchase order. The rationale for restricting competition to the DroneBuster 5 (part/model FIGDB5_868_PNT_KIT) is based on operational necessity and logistical compatibility. It is the only handheld RF/GPS jamming system approved by both JIATF-401 and the Department of War that possesses existing training doctrines and frequency deconfliction approvals. Utilizing an alternative system would require extensive ground-up spectrum management analysis, delaying deployment and increasing the risk of fratricide to friendly and civil aviation assets. Additionally, PACAF installations already utilize legacy DroneBuster models, and the updated Block V version provides critical PNT denial to counter advanced UAS threats. Market research, including a Sources Sought RFI (FA527026RFIdronebuster2026), confirmed that while the manufacturer has previously received sole-source awards, there are at least six authorized, competitive resellers in the commercial marketplace. Consequently, the Air Force plans to solicit bids among these authorized resellers to secure competitive pricing, which the Contracting Officer will evaluate for fairness and reasonableness using historical data and independent government estimates.
