    This memorandum details a determination for a sole-source acquisition under FAR Part 13, concerning items needed for the GBAD program. The required components, specifically cables for the LMADIS systems used for Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) missions, are exclusively available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Leonardo DRS (RADA). The acquisition is deemed necessary due to the urgency and the proprietary nature of the specified components, which are tailored to the unique standards and configurations of the systems being developed. A sole-source approach is justified based on the existence of exclusive licensing agreements, as no authorized resellers or distributors exist for these items. Prompt procurement is essential to prevent production delays, with the production schedule established at two systems every two months. The document emphasizes compliance with federal acquisition regulations while stressing the critical need for the specified components to ensure operational capability and performance of the LMADIS systems within designated timelines.
