    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Marine Corps Systems Command, is seeking to procure COMROD antennas through a limited source justification process. This procurement is justified due to the antennas' critical role in ensuring interoperability with existing systems, as market research revealed that no other vendors could meet the original equipment manufacturer's specifications. The selected procurement strategy will involve competition among COMROD's three authorized GSA dealers to ensure fair pricing, with all items sourced from a single vendor to maintain compatibility. Interested parties can reach out to Keane Butts at keane.butts@usmc.mil or call 703-432-4966 for further information.

    The United States Marine Corps Systems Command justifies the brand-name procurement of COMROD antennas due to their integral role and interoperability requirements with existing systems. Market research, including a SAM.GOV posting and GSA E-Library searches, indicated no other vendors could meet the original equipment manufacturer's requirements, and alternative providers lack the necessary expertise. The contracting officer will ensure fair and reasonable pricing through competition among COMROD's three authorized GSA dealers and comparison against an Independent Government Estimate (IGE). All items will be procured from a single source to ensure compatibility. The Marine Corps will continue market research to identify potential competing solutions during future technical refresh cycles.
