    Brand Name Justification Letter HarrisParts REDACT.pdf
    The Department of the Air Force's 141st Air Refueling Wing has submitted a memorandum requesting approval to procure brand name L3Harris tactical radio support items. This request aligns with Federal Acquisition Regulations, specifically aimed at fulfilling UTC equipment requirements. The memorandum details various items needed, including power cables, chargers, power supplies, and antennas, with a total estimated cost yet to be listed. The justification for specifying L3Harris equipment is based on their unique capability to provide NSA-approved Type 1 encryption, essential for secure communications in military operations. The interoperability of Harris equipment is critical to maintaining effective communication among Combat Communications Squadrons in the Air Force. Furthermore, market research confirms that no other manufacturer meets the stringent encryption and technical requirements outlined in UTCs. The acquisition of non-Harris accessories could negatively impact operational reliability and secure communication. The document concludes with certifications of accuracy from both the undersigned RF Transmission Systems Operations personnel and the Contracting Officer, emphasizing the necessity and completeness of the request for brand name procurement. This justification represents a vital step in ensuring that the Air Force maintains its operational integrity and security standards through consistent communication equipment.
